Our annual Strike Out Cancer event is coming up and we need your support! We hope you will partner with us by making a donation or sponsoring our 7th annual Strike Out Cancer event! As a school community invested in supporting our families, this event is very close to our hearts. Strike Out Cancer was conceptualized 6 years ago as a fundraiser for one of our teachers. Since then we have raised over 10,000 dollars to help local families in need and help provide relief for costly medical treatment. This year we hope to increase our donations so that we can provide some relief for multiple local families struggling with various difficult forms of cancer.
The game will be held on Saturday, May 19th 2018 at Painesville Township Park Fields. Your generous sponsorship would be highlighted in announcements about the event, during the introduction of the event itself and in articles to be published in our newsletter afterward. You and any other representatives would be most welcome to attend so that we could thank you personally for your support.
The event will include a Students V. Staff softball game, food concessions, 50/50 raffles, a Chinese auction and a DJ. Families and sponsors are invited to bring their lawn chairs and blankets to view the game. We are in great need of donations of raffle items, food/catering donations, and of course time for this worthy cause. If you would like to make a donation, become one of our sponsors, or help with the event, please contact Tanya Fitzgerald or Jennifer Polak @ 440-354-5400 x 200.

CLEVELAND, March 23, 2018 – The Lubrizol Corporation, in partnership with the Lake County Educational Service Center (ESC), announces the teacher team of Russ Messer, Jerry Hites, Paul Conn, Sheila Felix, Tim Hlousek, Sarah Murphey and Susan Tenon as the winner of the annual Lubrizol Lake County STEM Teacher Award. The "Hooked on Education" team led by Russ Messer, a STEM teacher at Fairport Harding High School, was selected for their innovative, interdisciplinary project-based lessons that engage students with personalized learning and connections to the real-world.
As recipient of the award, the "Hooked on Education" team will receive $5,000 for STEM-related teaching expenses of the teams choice, and team leader Russ Messer will receive sponsorship to attend the Ohio Chemistry Technology Council (OCTC) Teachers, Industry and Environment (TIE) Conference. In addition, Fairport Harding High School will receive an award of $5,000 for STEM equipment.
Addressing the Fairport Harbor Schools Board of Education, administration and community members, Julie Edgar, corporate vice president of innovation and chief sustainability officer for Lubrizol, honored the team by highlighting their innovative unit entitled "The Sky's the Limit". This unit is an interdisciplinary collaboration between an English and physics class to design, create and test water-fueled bottle rockets and launchers in the context of the themes of tenacity, dreams and the importance of education from Homer Hickam's memoir, Rocket Boy. During her remarks, Edgar stated, "I would like to recognize the team for promoting innovation in teaching and education, and in providing students the opportunities to learn in ways that match their interests, skills and talents. I applaud them all for their commitment and passion, and for making such a positive impact in their students' lives."

The Fairport Harbor Schools Theatre Department is proud to present “The Addams Family” this weekend under second-year director Johnathan Luster.
Performances are at 7 p.m. March 16-17, and 2 p.m. March 18 in the Branthoover Auditorium at Fairport Harding High School. Tickets are $5 per person on a first-come, first-served basis at the door or pre-sale at the high school office.
Doors open one hour before curtain, and seating is 30 minutes prior to the start of the performance. The show runs approximately 2 ½ hours with a 15 minute intermission, and light refreshments will be available. Information can be found at www.fhevs.org or contact Harding High School at 440-354-5400.
As an added bonus, kids can come early to enjoy free crafts, photo props, and are encouraged to dress up as their favorite Addams Family member. You might even be able to get a signed autograph and your picture taken with your favorite character after the show!
In the small world of Fairport Harbor, a production this size requires a community effort, and indeed that is what they have done here by fielding a cast that utilizes students from the high school, middle school and elementary school.
“I’m encouraged by some of the young, strong, musical talent I have seen in Fairport already this year,” Luster writes, “with the assistance of choreographer and Fairport chemistry teacher, Dr. Erin Allen, who has infused the show with some energetic dance numbers to delight the audience.“
Luster also works with kindergarten teacher Jennifer Dubeansky, as the music director. Costumes, make-up, lights, sound and set design have all been touched by students in the show.
Don’t skip this positively ooky production this weekend.

Two Auburn Career Center students not only have a new look, but they are also making a difference.
Cecelia Nemergut, a Cosmetology student from Berkshire, and Shelby Benko, an Allied Health student from Fairport, both donated their long locks.
“My hair was getting really long and was always getting in my way. It was long enough to donate. I wanted to do something good with it,” Shelby said. “It feels a lot lighter, and I feel good it is not going to waste.”
Lindsey Benko, Shelby’s twin sister, is in Auburn’s Cosmetology program and cut Shelby’s hair.
“I love her new haircut. I feel really accomplished and it makes it even better knowing that it’s going to a good cause,” Lindsey said.
Both students donated 12 inches of hair to Wigs for Kids.
Auburn’s cosmetology salon is open on select Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Auburn Career Center is located at 8140 Auburn Road in Concord Township. For additional information, call 440-357-7542 or visit www.auburncc.org.

Fairport Girls Basketball players have been busy collecting sponsors for the past few weeks in preparation for their Annual Hoopin' For a Cure Event, which took place on February 9, 2018 in the Fairport Harding High School Gymnasium. Students from McKinley also participated in this event.
Each player shot 100 free throws and then tallied their results. Sponsors could donate a lump sum to the cause or sponsor a player based on the number of shots they made.
Thank you to Brickhouse Pizza who donated all of the pizza for the players for the event. Another thank you to all the parents and families who came to support the players as they shot their free throws!
One fourth grader from McKinley, named Allie, raised almost $400 for the good cause to help a local family fight cancer.
