Adrian Celebrates Kindness!
The students at Adrian Elementary School kicked off their Kindland commitment with a kindness assembly last week! The Brush High School cheerleaders were special guests, who not only did a performance for the students, but also shared a few examples of places they see and experience kindness as cheerleaders for the football team.
Students were encouraged to be kind everyday and Principal Lasky shared some exciting ways their kindness might be rewarded. Of course, that's in addition to the good feeling that comes with being kind!
Students also received a Kindland bracelet to proudly show their commitment to being kind!

September is Attendance Awareness Month!
Attendance Awareness Month continues at South Euclid-Lyndhurst Schools and we've been celebrating our students for showing up every day!
Why does attendance matter? Because when your student misses school, we miss them! Students find the most success when they are in school, all day, ready to learn. Families play an important role in student success by making a plan and helping students arrive, on time, and stay in school all day, every day!
Did you know:
- Absenteeism in the first month of school can predict attendance problems for the entire school year. Students who miss 2-4 days in September are more likely to miss nearly a month of school by the end of the year.
- Reading proficiency is strongly tied to attendance - the better the attendance, the more likely they are to find success in reading!
- Overall academic performance also fares better when students are in school! Students who miss 10% of school or more (or about 2 days of school a month) are more likely to struggle academically.
The bottom line? When students are in school and focused, they are more likely to find success!

PTA to Host Candidates Forum
Since at least 1958, the SEL PTA Council and the League of Women Voters have partnered to provide nonpartisan voting information to our school community. PTA Council is proud to continue this tradition by hosting a candidates’ forum for the two contested races in the South Euclid and Lyndhurst communities.
All are welcome to attend, ask questions, and learn more about the candidates who will appear on the ballot in the November 4 general election.
The mission of the PTA is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. Becoming informed voters and electing leaders who will help create a caring community for our children, is one important way we fulfill that mission.
