The Fraternal Order of Police #34 has recognized several Warren City Schools service employees because they are “Essential for a Million Reasons.”
The recognition is in response to the multi-department collaborative efforts of the district’s food service, maintenance and transportation departments in serving more than one million meals to students in Warren via the district’s citywide feeding sights since the initial school shut down in March 2020.
On Thursday, May 20, FOP #34 President Brian Crites presented employees who assisted with the food distribution efforts a certificate to thank them for their “above and beyond” efforts.
Additionally, FOP #34, made up of members of the Warren City Police Department, including the school district’s School Resource Officers, gave each school building its own plaque.
“When it was brought to our attention that you had reached such a milestone we knew it was because each of you has gone above and beyond to serve our students, families and community over such an incredibly challenging time,” Crites said. “We knew we had to do something to show our appreciation and to thank you for all you do.”
The district’s food service, transportation and maintenance departments worked together to ensure meals arrived on time at 10 remote sites as well as all five of Warren’s school buildings.
Meals are also distributed at multiple sites at the schools and out of school buses that are out in the remote sites in the community. On Fridays children also received ‘weekend’ bags for Saturday and Sunday. Each child received a breakfast and lunch, just as they would in school.
“Being in the schools as SROs we see firsthand the work that takes place, from planning to preparation to putting everything into action, among these employees and the dedication and care they put into serving our students and our community,” said Warren City Police Officer Michael Currington, SRO at Lincoln and McGuffey PK-8 school.
“When we learned they had served over a million meals, we thought wow, that’s fantastic, and the members of the FOP all agreed that deserves some recognition.”
The district revised its food distribution immediately upon being notified of the statewide school shutdown to serve students and their families once the district moved to remote learning.
“It’s amazing to know that we’ve impacted so many lives, so many children, the thank yous that we get. It’s exciting to continue to serve the community this way and know that we’ve served more than a million meals across the city,” said Nailah Shaw, Willard PK-8 School food service manager.
“We’ve received a lot of positive feedback about how this has helped the community,” said Vonnie Crawley, a longtime cook at the McGuffey PK-8 School. “We’ve served not only Warren City School children, but also children that attend other schools, anyone who’s in need. I had one lady say to me ‘No child in Warren should be hungry!’”
Warren City Schools Business Operations Director john Lacy called the effort “teamwork at its best.”
“It really has been a collaborative effort with many departments in the school district,” he said.
The school district presented its own recognition to these outstanding employees: New shirts with the message ” “I’m Essential for a Million Reasons.”
Warren G. Harding High School seniors Destinee Toth and Hailey Barnes were recognized Friday, May 14, at the 2021 Trumbull County Educational Service Center Scholarship and Recognition Breakfast.
Hailey was awarded a $1,000 First Place Community Fund Scholarship. She plans to study biochemistry at Norwich University. Destinee won a $500 Textbook Award as a Franklin B. Walter District Level Winner. She plans to study Mechanical Engineering at Miami University of Ohio.
Warren City Schools, in partnership with Akron Children’s Hospital, will facilitate Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics for individuals ages 12 and older on Thursday, May 20.
The clinics are being tentatively planned for all four of the district’s PK-8 schools. However, sites may be consolidated as needed based upon registration numbers. Should sites by consolidated, the district will bus students from their home school buildings to one of the district’s other schools where vaccinations will be taking place.
Pre-registration is required through participation surveys sent Thursday, May 13, to all families in the Warren City School District. Surveys/pre-registrations must be completed by noon on Monday, May 17.
Families will be notified via email/FinalForms of their appointment times by a school nurse or representative.
This vaccination is a two-step process during which participants will be administered the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine in two doses.
The second dosage will be administered during similar clinics on Thursday, June 10.
Both clinic dates were selected because they fall within time frames when school will be in session – either as part of the regular school year or during the district’s summer learning program, explained Superintendent Steve Chiaro.
Program Open to K-8 Students in All Four PK-8 Schools
The Warren City Schools is excited to announce that we will be taking applications for students to participate in our June Extended Learning Opportunities at all four schools!
This opportunity will have an academic focus and is designed to support students who were impacted educationally due to COVID-19 over the past school year.
Students will engage with teachers and support staff in all four academic content areas (Math, ELA, Science and Social Studies). Over 100 dedicated teachers have signed up to teach and all we need now is for you to complete an application for your child.
Students will be in school a full school day. Breakfast and lunch will be provided and we will provide transportation to students that ride the bus during the regular school year. Start and end times have not been finalized as we are waiting until after all applications have been submitted to work on transportation routes. The program will run for the following 14 days:
June 7 – 10
June 14 – 17
June 21 – 24
June 28 & 29
If you have any questions regarding the program, please contact your school’s Campus Leader.

On Friday, Feb. 26, Akron Children Children’s Hospital will administer vaccines to approximately 425 additional Warren City School District employees, finishing the first round of this two-step process.
Thank you to everyone who has assisted in the vaccination process that has already proved to be a great success for Warren City Schools.
Warren City School District received final confirmation today, Feb. 17, 2021, from our health partners at Akron Children’s Hospital that our staff vaccinations WILL take place on Friday, Feb. 26.
With this in mind, the following adjustment will be necessary next week, Feb. 22-26, for students and staff schedules:
Monday and Tuesday – REGULAR schedule for ALL students and staff;
Wednesday – CHANGED/ REVISED SCHEDULE with Hybrid group B reporting;
Thursday – REGULAR schedule for ALL students and staff;
Friday- Students DO NOT REPORT. Follow “Wednesday” schedule; NO PK.
Additionally we will follow this schedule again in a few weeks when we receive our second dose of vaccination.
In consultation with the Warren City Health Department, other local health officials and in review of recent data/statistics specific to the City of Warren/Warren City Schools, the district is delaying the return of Warren G. Harding High School students to the hybrid learning schedule.
However, the district is still planning and preparing for the return of our PK-8 students as communicated last week.
Warren G. Harding students in group A will return on Monday, January 25th.
Warren G. Harding students in group B will return on Thursday, January 28th.
