Paperless LCD tablets called Boogie Boards, Stability Balls and iPad covers designed for school use were all introduced to West Geauga Schools through ideas from innovative teachers and funding from the West Geauga Educational Foundation. The Foundation awards money for innovative and creative programs in the West Geauga School System and helps those interested in finding better ways to teach and learn to try new approaches.
WEDGE, a 501(c)3 charitable organization run by volunteers, received donations in honor of recently deceased Fred C. Prasse. A West Geauga school board member for twenty-two years and board president for twenty years, Fred’s contributions to West Geauga will continue through generous donations made by Kathy Leavenworth, Thora Jackson, William Bassett, William McClung and Hahn Loeser. These donations will go directly to fund innovative education programs and learning experiences for students in West Geauga Schools. For 2012, this includes Spark.
