COOPERATIVE YOUTH DAY TO COLUMBUS – OCTOBER 22
Firelands Electric will be selecting up to 25 high school students to participate in its fourth annual Cooperative Youth Day to our state’s capital. This FREE, all-day chartered bus trip to the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus will take place on Thursday, October 22. Participants will explore Ohio's government, history, and politics with opportunities to tour the Statehouse, meet with legislators, and much more.
Students DO NOT need to be co-op members to apply – they simply need to be in grades 9-12. Our short online application is due September 11 and can be accessed by visiting www.firelandsec.com/cooperative-youth-day.
Additional details about Cooperative Youth Day are also available on this website, and photos from past trips may be viewed at www.flickr.com/photos/firelandsec/albums. If you have questions regarding this program, please do not hesitate to contact me. Also feel free to share the attached flyer promoting the program with students, parents, and fellow teachers.
Every year, Western Reserve government students are invited to Republican and Democratic dinners. The Democratic dinner is always early kicking off the year and the Republican dinner is later in the year. Students are recommended to attend both if possible.

Tonight’s middle school volleyball game which was originally scheduled to be played at Monroeville is now going to be played at Western Reserve in the high school gym at 5 PM.
Doors will open up at 4:30 PM
*We will now play at Monroeville on the 30th.
