“Summer intervention programs give students the chance to catch up, build confidence, and step into the next grade level ready to thrive.” – Christine Cope, President & CEO, United Way of Trumbull County
WARREN, Ohio – Some of Warren City Schools’ younger students have spent part of their summer preparing for the new school year by participating in the program “Ready, Set, Go!”
For two weeks, children entering kindergarten through second grade this year at Warren’s four elementary attended classes focused on reading and math intervention. The program is a product of a longstanding partnership between the school district and the United Way of Trumbull County.
School district leaders chose the theme. The United Way provided the books for students that explore insects and bugs, for first graders, and dinosaurs, for second graders. United Way also provided materials and funding for the teaching staff.
“Summer intervention programs give students the chance to catch up, build confidence, and step into the next grade level ready to thrive,” said Christine Cope, President & CEO, United Way of Trumbull County.
“By giving kids extra support over the summer, we bridge learning gaps and ensure they start the next school year prepared and excited to learn.”
Natalie Grayson, District Literacy Coordinator, Warren City Schools, said the two weeks include both reading and math learning activities.
“We looked at district and building data to see where the children needed a little more support before they enter the next school grade,” explained Grayson.
Jeanne Reighard , PK-3 McGuffey Principal, said the books and materials are used for different thematic units and other activities that a teacher may not always have time to do during a regular school day. She said parents often call her in March and April asking if the summer program is going to be offered.
“The parents appreciate the students having a chance to come here over the summer before school starts,” Reighard said.
One goal is for each child to read at his or her grade level and be able to use math and reading skills for assignments and activities.
“Our long time partnership with United Way provides Warren City School students with a jump start on those literacy and math skills needed in Grades 1 and 2,” said Regina Teutsch, Executive Director, Curriculum and Instruction, Warren City School District.

The Warren City School District has received The United Way of Trumbull County’s Give Award.
The award was presented to the school district in appreciation of the largest increase for an employee campaign.
The United Way has long been a community partner of the district.
It was ‘game on’ throughout Warren City Schools during Disabilities Awareness Week as students gained some hands on, and feet on, experience in living with disabilities.
The school district partnered with the organization SkoolAid to bring a variety of activities to all four PK-8 buildings as well as the Student Recreation and Wellness Center.
On Monday and Tuesday, May 12 and 13, each PK-8 building had two Disability Awareness assemblies focusing on educating students about disabilities through engaging experiences.
Through the “Ethan The Brave and Wheelchair Basketball” assemblies the goal is to dispel myths and foster understanding. The overall message is one of positivity and empathy, encouraging students to embrace their passions.
Students were called to play on teams and, after climbing into the provided wheelchairs, what it’s like to play basketball using your hands and two wheels.
The evening of Monday, May 12, , the district hosted a Family Olympics Event at the SRWC. Students from all four PK-8 buildings participated in a variety of hands-on activities designed to promote teamwork, problem solving, physical fitness, and, most importantly, fun!
In its first year of play, the newly formed Warren G. Harding Raiders Girls Flag Football Team is already making an impact both on and off the field.
The team wrapped up its first season with a 6-2 record, earned its way to Cleveland after qualifying for the fourth annual Northeast Ohio Girls Flag Football Tournament at Huntington Bank Field.
The 20-plus member team, coached by Justin Blair and Matthew Sheely, was among 16 teams competing for a girls’ flag football championship.
“It’s a big deal to me because my siblings get to see their little sister doing something they did,” Provitt said.
The Raiders went 1-1 in the tournament, ending their season just shy of the ultimate goal. The Warren G. Harding High School students competed against teams made up of player who have been in the game, in many cases, a lot longer than they have.
“I really didn’t know what to expect when I first started coaching this team. But I’m really proud. Just seeing how far we came from March to now was incredible. I wanted the girls to have fun and learn what it was like to come together as a team,” said Blair, the team’s head coach. “But they’ve by far outreached my highest expectations. They’ve been a great team.”
Their success on the field speaks for itself but it’s the bond they’ve built off of it that’s keeping them connected.
Quarterback Jaleah Provitt, a junior, said she was amazed by how the team came together.
“I’m very proud because nobody expected us to win at all. Nobody expected us to make it to the playoffs,” Provitt said. “But we did and that’s really something. And it was a lot of fun.”
Senior Ky’ziya Minor said she had never even been to the Cleveland Browns Field prior to playing there on May 12.
“That was crazy, being on the Cleveland Browns Field … so many people there. Families there, screaming and cheering. It felt like I was at a real football game,” she said. “That was so beyond anything … that was something!”
