Today was the first day of CLA for our Parma cohort!

Students spent the day learning a variety of success skills from ELA facilitators, identified their personality types, explored the Cleveland Metroparks Watershed Stewardship Center, and heard the personal career journeys of our professional panelists.

Students worked collaboratively to design their dream homes on a journey of self-discovery.

Thank you to the Cleveland Metroparks for hosting and providing a fascinating tour, to our wise panelists from Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District and Cleveland Metroparks for sharing their stories, and to all the students who showed up today with an open mind. 🧠💡

This group activity encouraged students to create "human shapes" by working together. This was one group's unique interpretation of a star. 🌟
