The Cory-Rawson Local Board of Education was proud to recognize two area businesses as part of the OSBA Business Honor Roll program at the June board meeting.
The first was All-Star Heating and Plumbing. All-Star is a long-time supporter of Cory-Rawson in a variety of ways. Most recently, the company was generous in providing expertise as a third-party as the district planned a large HVAC project. All-Star did not benefit financially from the project, but owner Verl Warnimont was more than willing to attend meetings, study plans, and walkthrough with contractors to ensure our taxpayer dollars were invested wisely.
The board also recognized Grob Systems. Grob's partnership has focused on educational opportunities provided to our students. Throughout the year, Grob is here on our campus - whether that be working with elementary classrooms on STEM activities, providing an army of volunteers at our Amazing Shake, presenting for career development, working with 7th grade STEM students at their plant, or through financial support of initiatives such as our Tinkering Festival.
Thanks to both businesses for their partnership.
The Board of Education presented its Green & Gold Apple Awards at last night's meeting. This annual agenda item recognizes our students who achieve state-level recognition. Congratulations to these Hornets:
