Pictured above: Imagine being a high school senior and seeing artwork you created in
class driving down the street in the form of a Laketran Bus! That became a reality for
Olivia Indre, the first-place winner of Laketrans’ “Design a Bus Wrap” art contest. She
worked on this masterpiece as part of the Digital Arts and Design course at Mentor High
School, which is a newer course developed to help students make real-world
connections to available careers in the Art and Technology fields. Laketran was kind to
bring the freshly-wrapped bus to the high school to celebrate!
>> At the high school level, students have more than 40 different clubs and
activities available in which to participate.
>> At the middle school level, students have approximately 15 clubs and
activities available in which to participate.
>> The high school has five specialized clubs and activities aimed at raising
awareness surrounding mental health and bullying issues. They are: CARDS
(Caring And Respect Determine Success), PRIDE, GAHTAH (Give A Hand, Take A
Hand), Friends of Rachel and Beauty of Diversity.
>> Each of the middle schools also has a Friends of Rachel club for students to
spread a message of kindness and compassion throughout the school and
community. Many of our anti-bullying initiatives include peer-to-peer
messaging, which can be a powerful tool. This is reflected in our student-led
Kindness Rallies and Stick Together program, as examples.
>> Mentor High School students lead the Sparkle Cheerleaders program, also
known as Mentor Sparkles. Sparkles is an inclusion cheerleading squad where
students with special needs work with their typically-developing peers to root
for the Cardinals at various games and events throughout the school year.
