various changes occurring in the school district at a number of Community
Coffees. We hope that you can join us on Tuesday, April 27, at Medina
High School from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The evening will begin with a brief general
session in the high school's Middle Stage Auditorium. Attendees will then
have the opportunity to choose two break-out sessions to participate in.
"Addressing Opportunities & Options for Students at the High
School"

"Meeting Students' Needs - Intervention

the Stage for Advocacy"
