THE TIME IS NOW!
It has been more than 45 years since Willoughby-Eastlake School District has asked for money to rebuild facilities.
Currently our buildings are in need of $30 million in roof repairs alone. It is time to address the failing facilities so
that your schools will remain viable.

SUMMER LEARNING CAMP….
IT’S NOT YOUR TYPICAL SUMMER SCHOOL
Is it possible to offer a program that is rich in math and English language arts lessons, and provide engaging
enrichment opportunities without local tax dollars? YES!
This past summer, more than 300 students attended the Summer Learning Camp for four
weeks at Grant Elementary School in an effort to prepare them for the next grade level and
