Warren G. Harding seniors had the opportunity on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, to discuss various job and career choices with those who already work in those fields.

Warren G. Harding hosted a job fair that brought representatives from the City of Warren, the Warren City Fire and Police Departments, and Warren City Schools.

“I think it’s a really good opportunity to meet people, talk to them and make contacts,” said senior Jacob Borsic. “It gives you options to consider after graduation. Even if you’re not ready now, maybe yo want to go to college or something, it’s still good to know what’s out there.

Some students took the opportunity to try on some firefighter gear as they discovered what it takes to join the city department’s roster.

Others asked about the potential for working for Warren City Schools. District staff was on hand to discuss educational assistant, cafeteria, maintenance and transportation positions.

Trinity Walker said she was introduced to jobs she had even thought about prior to the job fair.

“It’s nice to know about all of the options,” she said. “I’ve learned a lot.”

Other than their parents or other family members, often the school bus driver is the first person a child sees at the start of the day.

On Thursday, Feb. 27, 2025, the students and staff within Warren City Schools expressed their appreciation for the district’s two dozen bus drivers who transport students to and from school, and to special events and field trips.

The district hosted a gathering for the bus drivers in observance of School Bus Driver Appreciation Day. The day is part of the national Love the Bus program established to recognize school bus drivers across the country. For their part, students created thank you cards for their bus drivers.

Teresa Wilson, who has driven bus for 12 years, said she was grateful for the recognition from the district and the students.

Posted on the outside of a district school bus were notes and cards from the students.

“You care. You build relationships with these children, and their families,” she said. “It’s nice to know you’re appreciated.”

Lincoln 5th graders attended Look Both Ways:  A Tale Told in Ten Blocks at Playhouse Square in Cleveland on February 26, 2025.

The production is based on the award-winning book by Jason Reynolds.

Prior to attending the play, the 5th graders read the book as part of their SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) lessons. They learned the importance of viewing situations from multiple perspectives and having empathy for others because of the interconnection between people in a community 

Students’ understanding of the book was enhanced through the visual representation of the play. Their attendance was made possible because of the Schermer Trust and DiYorio foundation grant and the Big Yellow School Bus grant from the Ohio Arts Council.

Fourth-grade students from Warren’s Jefferson PK-8 School provided a closer look at dozens of African American individuals who have made significant contributions and impacted our lives in the past or present.

On Tuesday, February 18, 2025, the school set up a Living Wax Museum at the WCS’ Student Recreation and Wellness Center where the students, many dressed as the individuals they portrayed, gave visitors lessons in history and current events. For the event, held in observance of Black History Month, each student researched an individual to portray.

“It’s wonderful,” said Arlene Parker, who spent time going from student to student, learning about each person. “I’ve learned a lot, and these students have done a wonderful job.”

Along with parents and other community members, students from Warren G. Harding High School as well as WCS administrators and staff walked along the path of history where they students made their presentations.
