Last day of school for students at Collinwood High School
Today is the final day of classes for Cleveland Metropolitan School District, and when students return in the fall, the district will look and feel a lot different due to consolidation. Next school year, Collinwood and Glenville will merge and become one at Glenville. The district hosted a bonding event to help students mix it up before the merger. Students gathered at Glenville for music, dancing, and games. Glenville's principal says her goal is to make sure new and returning students feel safe and loved. She is hoping to have 150 Collinwood students make the move to Glenville, bringing the school population to about 500.
Massillon's first roundabout construction set to begin soon
Massillon's first roundabout is planned for the intersection of Main Avenue West and Tremont Avenue Southwest, and construction should begin within the next few weeks, according to city officials. City Engineer Alex Pitts says the transformation of the intersection into a roundabout comes down to safety concerns. Pitts says there are geometric issues at the intersection, with streets entering at sharp angles. On top of that, multiple driveways tied to the center of the intersection create confusion over who has the right of way. Pitts says eliminating the signal is the best solution.
Senior Players Championship leaving Akron's Firestone for California
The PGA Tour announced Firestone Country Club will no longer host the Senior Players Championship after next year's tournament, with the annual event moving to Newport Beach, California, starting in 2027. The current sponsorship deal with Kaulig Companies ends after this summer's tournament. Firestone has hosted top professional golfers since 1954. The Northern Ohio Golf Charities and Foundation will hold a town hall meeting on June 2 to discuss the changes.
Local teacher behind beloved weather book
For more than a decade, Meteorologist Trent Magill has been taking the same book into elementary schools across Northeast Ohio: "The Brainy Adventures of Bonobo Kid — The Rainy Day Lesson." He's probably told little Bonobo's story a thousand times. In the book, a blue bonobo monkey teaches a couple of kids why we have weather. Trent knew the author was a Northeast Ohio local — but this spring, when Trent pulled the book out in a Huntington Elementary School kindergarten class, he learned just how local she really is. A kindergarten teacher at Huntington tipped him off: the author of my go-to book isn't only local, but she's a teacher. So, Trent went to Crestview Elementary School across town, where author Lynette Miller teaches first grade. Miller said the book was born at home, inspired by her own children. She said her goal was always to make science feel approachable.
