The Big Read at Warrensville Heights Middle School

For several weeks in the fall of 2008, Warrensville Heights Middle School students participated in the Big Read, an NEA grant program implemented by Young Audiences to improve reading and literacy skills. Students read and discussed Harper Lees To Kill a Mockingbird, and Young Audiences artists Jimmie Woody (theater) and Augusto Bordelois (visual art) helped emphasize important aspects of the book about social justice through theater exercises and by creating a mural that will be displayed in the school.

A big thanks to the organizations who helped support the project, including: the National Endowment for the Arts, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Warrensville Heights Branch, Marcus Thomas LLC, New Image Media, South Pointe Hospital, Cuyahoga Community College Eastern Campus, Sherwin Williams and Suburban Pavillion Inc.
