Eastwood Local Schools- February 2016
School Based
Freshman Orientation
Random Acts of Kindness Week
Not only did they pass out candy but also had an interactive activity to do during lunch. Students could write an act of kindness on a link which then was placed onto the chain. With all the participation the chain made it half way down the cafeteria hallway.
We couldn't forget about the wonderful staff and all they do for the school. Each staff member at the middle and high school received a treat. The treat bags read "We need smore staff like you!" It consisted of a graham cracker, hershey kisses, and marshmallows.

One Step Ahead Members become JTI Leaders!
On February 23rd, Haven Flores and Cassidy Schling teamed up to show the JTI members about working together. Their activity was to get from one side of the line to the other side while not stepping off the tape. There were about 15 members on each team. It took each group about 5 minutes to complete the task.

Wood County Youth Olympics
"The purpose of the Wood County Youth Olympics is to demonstrate that competition does not have to result in violence. Through this program, Wood County youth are given the opportunity to compete in a conflict free environment. In addition, the Youth Olympics strives to demonstrate the importance of individual accountability and personal excellence.
The Wood County Youth Olympics is an annual event that was created in 1999. It is held every March on the campus of Bowling Green State University. The event is open to 500 4th and 5th grade students who attend school or reside in Wood County. Participants from different school districts are paired together in teams to facilitate cooperation and team work. The Youth Olympics are coordinated with the assistance of community volunteers, including elected officials, law enforcement officers, and school personnel."
