For Your Information
CISV is a program whose goals are very similar to those of our high school Global Scholars program: cultural competency, global awareness and cross-cultural communication.
There is going to be a "Village" event in Columbus this summer, where many students from around the world come to Columbus, so it might be a good way for middle school and Jr High students to get involved prior to starting world languages or Global Scholars.

mCORE Heart Screening
The mCORE Foundation to Provide Cardiac Screening Opportunity for
Ridgeview Junior High School
PREVENTATIVE HEART SCREENINGS
Here is information on an excellent opportunity that’s been made available to our students at Ridgeview Junior High School. We are partnering with mCORE™ — Mobile Cardiac Overview and Risk Evaluation — to screen our students for the cardiac conditions and abnormalities which may put them at risk of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). mCORE partners with high schools and athletic organizations to give convenient and dependable heart screenings to students.
SCA is the #1 Killer of Student Athletes Each Year, many of which could have been prevented with a simple examination like this.
The time requirement is approximately 10-12 minutes per student. Each student will be given an EKG and Echo screening and these tests typically cost more than $2000 in a clinical setting. You may use your Healthcare Spending Account or Flex Care Spending Account. All screenings are performed by a Registered Cardiac Sonographer and results are read by mCORE Medical Director and our pediatric cardiology team.
(Please contact mCORE should financial hardship preclude you from taking part.)
