Hello, Rough Riders!!  

You're invited to attend a back-to-school event to empower the youth of Portage County as you prepare for the 2023-24 school year!  The Youth Empowerment Rally is being held at Streetsboro High School on Monday, August 7, from 3:00-6:00 pm.  You'll want to plan to attend the whole event to be a part of the breakout sessions that will cover topics on preventing bullying, internet safety, and mental health.  There will also be a silent awareness walk, a free meal, bouncy houses, a radio DJ for music, and more!  The event is free and open to students and families in Portage County.  Be a part of creating a positive learning environment for you and your school!
