Schools Out For Summerby MaryAnn Strenk, Director of
Curriculum
Though school may be out for summer, it is definitely not out
FOREVER, like depicted in the popular 80’s song by Alice Cooper.
Even seniors know that success in life depends on becoming a
lifelong learner. Studies have shown that students who engage in
some form of educational activity during the summer were better
prepared for academic success in the fall, and students who didn’t
dropped back more than 2 months from the previous spring. How do we
help our students continue to thrive? The answer is to engage them
in thought provoking, mind-engaging activities every day through
summer vacation. Read, Read, Read: Every student should have a
library card and access to the neighborhood library. Reading is one
activity that is totally FREE, and can take your mind on adventures
almost anywhere. Textbooks are the main reading component
throughout the year, but summer should be a chance to read anything
that strikes their

The end of the school year always brings with it a flurry of
activity from field trips to awards ceremonies, dances, graduations
and parties celebrating and commemorating the year past. As I
reflect on this past year, I’m struck with a sense of pride in our
community and our student’s accomplishments, the greatest being the
support for and growth of Sam Lough. After suffering a debilitating
stroke mid school year, Sam worked hard with the support of family,
friends and community to walk across the stage with her graduating
class. Her accomplishments exemplify the best of our student body
and this community.
Alongside Sam’s accomplishments comes Paige Nemec, the first
female wrestler to compete in the Ohio state tournament. She is
also the first female athlete to win 100 career varsity wrestling
matches. Additionally, senior Mary Defer received a National
Scholastic Gold Medal for her Oil Paining titled “Embers,” and will
visit Carnegie Hall in New York City this month. Our High School
band also visited Washington DC this year and played at the Kennedy
Center, an honor for the students as well as our district.
These students were accompanied by many others in receiving
awards, honors and recognitions in both academic and non-academic
areas. It’s humbling to consider the great strides these students
will take in the future.
As a district, we continued to work towards meeting the needs of
every child, every day. Some of our accomplishments include:
implementing a staffed computer lab at the Intermediate
building,•successfully implementing the first year of Project Lead
the Way,•initiating Response To Intervention (RIT)
training,•increasing co-teaching and inclusion model,•working
towards student data tracking to improve ability to offer
individualized interventions; and•offering intervention programs at
all buildings.•
Over the summer, we will continue to work towards improving
opportunities for our students and maintaining sound fiscal
operations.
I wish our students, staff and community a restful summer.

IMMUNIZATION REMINDERKindergarten and Grade 7
by Mrs. Joyce Schroder, RN BSN & Mrs Kim Ondash, RN BSN
In order to be in compliance with Ohio law, students are
required to have proof of receiving certain immunizations before
the start of school in August 2010 or they will not be permitted to
attend school.
Students entering 7• th grade need to have a booster dose of
Tdap vaccine. Students entering Kindergarten need: 5 doses
DTap/DTP/DT; 4 doses Polio; 2 doses MMR; 3 doses Hepatitis B; 2
doses • Varicella (chickenpox).
These vaccines can be obtained at the Portage County Health
Department or your healthcare provider. Seventh grade students
received a form with their report cards that can be taken to the
“shot” appointment to be completed. You may also submit a copy of
your “shot” visit statement as proof of immunization. According to
Ohio law, students not providing proof of immunization will be
excluded from school after 14 days. We appreciate your cooperation
in promptly submitting your child’s proof of immunization to the
school nurse.
Three New Principals to Welcome Crestwood Students This Fall
When students return to school this fall they may be greeted by
a new principal. Our new administrative team of Beth Trivelli, Mike
Maglionico and Julie Schmidt will be replacing retiring principals
Mr. Rauber, Mrs. DiMaso who were at the elementary buildings, and
Dr. Hill at the middle school, who resigned to become
superintendent in nearby Waterloo Schools. Although we will miss
these leaders, we are excited about our new administrative team
members. Julie Schmidt will be the new principal at Crestwood
Middle School, Michael Maglionico at Crestwood Intermediate School,
and Beth Trivelli at Crestwood Primary School. They replace exiting
principals Andrew Hill, Patricia DiMaso, and Tom Rauber. Crestwood
Middle School Curriculum Principal Jan Zimmerman will be replaced
by a yet-to-be named interim assistant principal. Julie A. Schmidt

University in May 2009. She did her administrative internship under
exiting Principal Dr. Andrew Hill assisting him in the areas of
curriculum development, scheduling, and staff development. She has
played a large role in building and district efforts to improve
learning through the use of student data and the design of
high-quality interventions. Michael Maglionico has been named as
the new Principal of Crestwood Intermediate School. Mr. Maglionico
received his undergraduate degree from Cleveland State University
and completed his preparation in educational administration a Kent
State University. He began his career as a teacher for Ravenna City
Schools in 1999 and served the Geauga County Educational Service
Center as an administrator in the area of special education from
2007 through spring 2010. Mike is a graduate of Crestwood High
School. Beth Trivelli has been appointed to the position of
Principal at Crestwood Primary School. Mrs. Trivelli completed her
undergraduate degree at Miami University in Oxford Ohio. She
received her Master’s Degree and her Ed. S. at Kent State
University. She has served Kent City Schools as an elementary
teacher, a mentor teacher, and as an intervention specialist. She
has played a large role in teacher staff development at Kent
Schools and has a very strong background in the area of elementary
reading instruction and intervention. We would like to congratulate
these individuals for their performance throughout the intensive
screening process. These three principals were chosen from nearly
70 applicants for the positions.

Bands traveled to our nation’s capital April 21-26. The ensembles
were selected by audition to perform in concert at The John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as part of the Washington,
D.C. International Music Festival. The Crestwood musicians were one
of only three high school groups to be extended such a prestigious
invitation. They also performed an outdoor concert at the Lincoln
Memorial. Director Kate Ferguson commented, “I am so proud of these
students both for their outstanding performances and their
exemplary behavior during the entire trip.” The students had the
opportunity to visit/tour the U.S. Capitol, monuments, museums of
the Smithsonian Institute, the Holocaust Museum, Arlington National
Cemetery. The trip also included a concert by the US Navy Band and
a minor league baseball game between the Bowie Baysox and the Akron
Aeros.

Crestwood Hosts Portage County Food Show
On April 21, Crestwood Local School District hosted the Portage
County Food Show. There were more than 80 guests in attendance
which included food service staff from all districts in Portage
County. Guests met several vendors and tasted many samples
provided. Guests were then given a presentation by Ben Mullins,
Education Specialist at GFS and a brief presentation by Cheryl
Ommert from the Ohio Department of Education. In addition to over
200 raffle prizes which included gift cards, plants, a Thomas
Kinkaid painting, etc., a 50/50 raffle drawing was held as well. As
guests exited the building they were given a flower pot and thank
you note on behalf of the Crestwood Food Service Team. Many thanks
to our sponsors: Albert Guarneri & Co., Dean Foods, General
Mills, Gordon Food Service, P&S Bakery, Reiter Diary and
Smith’s Dairy. A big thank you goes out to all those who had made a
contribution towards this event: Comfort Café, Jake’s, Eagle Creek
Growers, Gionino’s-Hiram, Breezewood Garden’s, Mary Beth Thigpen
(Tastefully Simple), Heinen’s-Aurora, Giant Eagle, Elizabeth Baker
(Avon), Mantua Pharmacy, Brian Hirsch, Kristen & Connor Marek,
Kimi Zifchak, Denny & Debbie Bujak, Bill & Cheryl Hirsch,
Jane Petro, Connie Nunns,Teresa Zimmerman, Gary & Susie Janson
and the Crestwood Technology team. This event was such a great
success because of all of your contributions.
interest. Spend an hour each night sitting outside sharing a
book as a family. Use books-on-tape as you travel in a car, or even
encourage students to create their own tapes that can be played
back at bedtime. If you like to sing, fire up the karaoke machine
and read the lyrics as you dream of becoming the next American
Idol. Read about the plants in your garden, the stars in the sky,
the teams that play ball and the clouds that pass by. Read the
labels on cereal, and the front page news. Read an exciting mystery
and pay attention to clues. It doesn’t really matter, the content
or speed, what is really important is that you choose to READ. Go
On Vacation : Maybe you can’t actually afford a trip, but a virtual
vacation can take you all over the world, and even into space if
you choose. With books and the internet, students may learn about
cultures, diversity, geography, economics, etc. You can even visit
some of the tourist sites by using the internet. Try Google Maps to
find 3D images of every destination you would want to choose. What
other “hidden” information can you find by taking your travels off
the beaten path? What jobs do the residents hold and how does this
compare to Mantua, Ohio? What different foods do they eat? Maybe
you could have a special meal with ethnic foods, and let your child
help with the menu and preparations. What are the most popular
sites, and what is the history around them? What is unique? Maybe
give your child some “virtual” money and let them plan a dream
vacation. They would need to find hotels and activities for the
entire time. This is a great way to teach about budgeting money and
choosing priorities. Have Fun: Ask “silly” questions and allow your
child to predict, and then actually figure out the results. How
many giant steps do you think it would take to walk down our
driveway? How many times can you swing back and forth in 5 minutes?
How many coins can you pick up from the bottom of the pool in one
breath, and who can get the most money? How many out of state
license plates will we see from home to grandma’s house? Where
would be the best place to find a frog? What time do you think it
will start to rain? Who can make the biggest bubble? The goal is to
be creative and encourage your child to think. Ask why questions so
that they must explain their logic.Thank you for a wonderful year
and have a safe and healthy summer break.

New Advisory Program Opens Path for Teacher to Help Students
Love to Learn
As part of the 7th grade Advisory third nine weeks citizenship
curriculum, Mrs. Anfang’s advisory class contributed to their
school community by helping Mrs. Stine in the library with various
dusting, cleaning, and shelving tasks. They also participated in a
read-a-thon for a week to raise money for a field trip and to
donate money to our school library for Mrs. Stine to purchase new
books. Mrs. Ester Cross, the Children’s Librarian at Reed Memorial
Library in Ravenna, enticed the students with “Exciting Summer
Reads” in her book talk presentation as part of the field trip on
Friday, May 28. After a tour of the new additions to the library
that opened in 2006, the students, Mrs. Anfang, and Ms. Zimmerman
headed to Susie K’s Café & Tea Room for a light lunch of
wonderful salads and sandwiches where they were greeted with a
personalized welcome sign on Main Street. Then it was off to the
Deluxe Bakery to pick up a few treats and gifts and on to Dairy
Queen for “Something Different” as they say. McKenzie Bollinger,
Savannah Burkett, Leannah Frances, Alyssa Lamb, Reba Mach, Kaylee
Mays, Heather McIntyre, Taylor Mendiola, Kelsey Mertes, Haley
Rohland, Sami Spencer, and Carol Zack were able to check out books
after the book talk with their new library cards and will be all
set for a summer full of “Exciting” reading. The advisory program
was a new program at the Middle School during the 09-10 school year
that aimed to build strong student-adult connections throughout the
building. Approximately 12 students were grouped with an adult in
the building who met twice per week throughout the school year
where the group discussed and participated in a variety of topics
including team building, goal planning, communication skills and
citizenship.
Eighth-grade computer students learn how to properly type a
business letter during their computer class. Mrs. Moore has her
students compose a letter, and send it to any person or
organization of their choice. Students request some type of
memorabilia in the composition of the letter. Jacob Agle was quite
excited to receive a personally autographed picture of
ASSIGNMENT WITH A PRIZE!!
Coach Jim Tressel, as well as a team picture, trading card of
Coach Tressel, and team poster. Ironically, Jacob was dressed in
support of his favorite team for Right to Read week on the day he
received the items from Ohio State.

CEA Booth at Potato Festival Paves Wayfor 5 Middle School Summer
Camp Scholarships
For the first time ever, Crestwood Education Association had a
booth at the Potato Festival last September. CEA executive board
decided that it was important to be more involved with the
community. Teachers worked the booth all weekend. Coloring books
were created for the occasion and passed out. A CEA banner was
created and decorated the table. Teachers donated baskets that were
raffled off. Profits from the basket raffle went to the creation of
a Middle School Summer Camp Scholarship. The Mantua Rotary was
contacted and they indicated a willingness to also contribute to
the scholarship. Through the combined efforts of the CEA and the
Mantua Rotary, 5 Summer Camp Scholarships have been awarded.
8• th grader Grant Bates will attend Mount Union Football camp
in June. 8• th grader, Sierra Hobbs will attend Aurora Conservatory
Dance Camp. 7• th grader, Noah Gula will find it a bit easier to go
to Boy Scout Camp Manatoc this summer;7• th grader, Natalie Cline
will be attending Wooster Music Camp and 6• th Grader; Courtney
Capel is planning to attend a Girl Scout camp with our
assistance.
A very important component of the middle school philosophy is to
allow students to try new things and develop existing skills.
Attending summer camps often allows students to do that!
Scholarships are a wonderful way to allow students to have rich
experiences. Thank you to all who had a part of this project.

Portage County K-9 Officers Take Their Partners to see the
CIS’s “Just Say No!” Club
On May 14, four Portage County K-9 units visited the Crestwood
Intermediate School’s fourth grade “Just Say No!” club. The ninety
boys and girls in the voluntary club were treated to a full day of
drug-free fun as a reward for their year-long dedication and
sacrifice. All fourth graders are invited to join the club designed
to educate the children about the dangers of illegal drugs,
alcohol, and tobacco. They give up one recess per month to meet
with advisors Betty Ostrowske, Marge Franks, and Irene Ruehr. The
students were bussed to the Roller Hutt in Garrettsville for the
morning of the event. Thank you to the Roller Hutt for donating the
rink! In the afternoon, the boys and girls were treated to snacks
as they received an extra recess. The afternoon was started off
with K-9 officer demonstrations. Thank you to the K-9 officers and
their partners for spending this time with the “Just Say No!”
club!

The kindergarten students at Primary school held an expert expo.
The students picked a topic of interest to them and
did research to create a book and display about their area of
expertise.
Field day for Crestwood Primary School was a great success. A
HUGE thank-you to Mr. and Mrs. Doneyko and ALL of the
volunteers. The event was super organized and very
well-staffed!!!
A fun time was had by all.

observe animals.
