NEW 2014-2015 SCHOOL CALENDAR AVAILABLE
Our school calendar for 2014-2015 was recently revised in compliance
with the State of Ohio mandate that we switch from minimum instructional days
to hours of instruction. A copy of the
new calendar can be downloaded from our district website using the link at the
top of the page. One of the major
changes is that school will end on May 29, 2015. We hope this earlier ending date will be
helpful to our local vendors.
FILM STUDENTS HONORED AT LOCAL FILM FESTIVAL
Several Vermilion High School students were
selected for outstanding film work and earned a spot as finalists in the
Hathaway Brown iMagine Film Festival this year. Those chosen to have
their films screened by the judges are: Eric McGuinn, Jason
Nestor-Blackman, Nicole Fiegi, Joey Rini, Bryan Martin and Ryley Miller.
The iMagine Film Festival was created in 2012 in an effort to provide
northeast Ohio high school filmmakers a venue for exhibiting their original
films and to receive constructive feedback from local industry professionals.
In the past, students had very few opportunities in the area to share
their films. The festival was designed with
the intention of doing more than simply awarding prizes to the winners. The
iMagine Film Festival allows participants to be acknowledged for their efforts,
and receive personal feedback from a professional panel of judges. The festival will take place Saturday, April
26, 2014 from 1:00 to 4:00 PM at Hathaway Brown School in Shaker Heights. The
program is free and open to the public. Links to student videos created by
Vermilion students and more information about the Hathaway Brown Film Festival
is available on our website.
VERMILION, FIRELANDS AND WESTERN RESERVE BASEBALL TEAMS SUPPORT A.L.S.
The Sailor Baseball team will host the second
annual PHAALS Foundation game with
Firelands and Western Reserve High Schools on Saturday, April 26. PHAALS
stands for “Playing Hardball Against ALS" (also known as Lou Gehrig’s
Disease). As many reading this will recall, Lou Gehrig was a Hall of
Fame baseball player for the New York Yankees, who died from A.L.S. at an early
age. The PHAALS Foundation’s mission is to create awareness about this
deadly disease, assist families that have been affected and raise money for
research. During each day of the event,
baseball players will be collecting loose change donations during the school lunch
periods. A dime or quarter a day will be appreciated. On Friday the
schools will sponsor $1.00 baseball cap day. A donation of $1.00 is required
for permission to wear a baseball cap in school all day. On Saturday,
April 26, the Sailors will play Firelands at 10:00 AM, Firelands will play
Western Reserve at 1:00 PM, and then the Sailors will play Western Reserve at
3:00 PM. We hope the community will come
out to see some great baseball, and help our team support this worthy
cause.
