Building Excellence, Leadership, and Community at Cedar Elementary

By Missy Leininger, Assistant Principal

On April 13th, Cedar held its Spring Family Literacy Night where students “Adopted a Pet.”

Students hand-picked a stuffed cat or dog from the ‘Cedar Adoption Center,’ named their pet, and received an adoption certificate. From there, students recited a “buddy pledge,” promising to read to their new loved one nightly.

The newly adopted pets received a handmade collar from their loved ones and a writing journal to record their new adventures. Families also created animal-themed bookmarks, and animal-themed masks, and took fun family photos at the photo booth.

Finally, families enjoyed a light refreshment made up of cat treats (goldfish), dog treats (Scooby Snacks), and rabbit food (carrots & dip). They also received animal-themed books for summer reading adventures! A special thanks to Community Building Partnership and Citizen’s Bank for joining our family fun!

Save the date for Cedar Cares: Come connect with the Cedar Community for a Health and Wellness Family Night in conjunction with Aultman Hospital on Thursday, September 14, 2023, from 5 to 6:30 pm. There will be over 50 community partners, food, music, families, and fun at Cedar School!
