We Moved! Reaching Heights in the Coventry Building
Since the last week of April, the Reaching Heights staff has been working from its new office space in the Coventry Building, formerly Coventry Elementary School. Surrounded by non-profit neighbors Future Heights, Lake Erie Ink, Family Connections, Ensemble Theatre, the Coventry Children's Center, and Urban Oak, Reaching Heights is in a good location. With almost double the square footage, we have more space to work, to welcome volunteers and visitors, and to host our Board Meetings.
