Greetings Bulldog Nation Alum, Friends and Supporters:
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!
Your kindness in the past has been most appreciated in supporting the GH Education Foundation in its mission to annually provide high school seniors college scholarships, annually provide classroom grants to teachers for innovative classroom activities and to provide support to needy district students when book bags or winter coats may be needed. We continue to request your help now as the 3rd Annual Golf Outing of the GH Education Foundation is scheduled for Friday, July 31 at the Briarwood Golf Club in Broadview Heights. This annual golf outing is the largest fundraising event of the Education Foundation each year and we request your support through either being a golfer or sponsor at the event (see golf flyer below with QR Codes for golfer or sponsor registrations) or by making a donation through the Foundation’s GoFundMe QR Code (see below).
Because the Education Foundation is a 501(C)(3) non profit organization, donations are tax deductible.
Thanking all Bulldog Nation Alum, Friends and Supporters for any assistance that you can offer to make this year’s golf outing a huge success!
For additional information or questions, please contact Stan Lipinki, Chair of the GH Education Foundation Trustees at either 440-376-4426 or slipinski@ghbulldogs.org

Outstanding student achievements and growth were recognized during our awards ceremony. Energy reached an all-time high during Field Day, where everyone enjoyed a full day of outdoor games, teamwork, and friendly competition. Finally, the entire school community gathered for the emotional 3rd-grade clap-out, cheering on our students as they walked the hallways one last time to celebrate their transition to the next chapter. Thank you Ms. Frimel, Elmwood Principal, for an amazing school year!

Elmwood students proudly participated in the Miles of Smiles All-Star Track and Field Day hosted at Nordonia High School. The day brought together athletes from schools across the region to compete in track and field activities while celebrating teamwork, determination, and inclusion. Students enjoyed the opportunity to showcase their talents, build friendships, and create lasting memories in a fun and supportive atmosphere.
What an amazing experience at Elmwood Elementary! We had the pleasure of hosting YouTuber and magician Ricky Smith Jr., and he absolutely wowed everyone with his incredible tricks and high-energy performance. Students were engaged, amazed, and Mr. Washington participated and enjoyed every minute of his performance. It was a day full of magic, laughter, and unforgettable moments!
