Five Cardinal Middle School students were recognized Monday for their participation in the Geauga County Juvenile Court’s Circles program.
Circles is a restorative justice program for fifth-, sixth-, seventh- or eighth-grade students presented in Geauga County schools by the juvenile court. Each school selects student participants who have leadership potential.
Given the opportunity to participate in Circles, selected students develop leadership skills and, in fact, rise to the level of expectations set forth, according to a court press release.
The CMS students were awarded with Highest Honors, High Honors and Honors for the progress they’ve made in academics and exemplifying skills of leadership.
Said Grendell, “The court commends these students for their hard work and looks forward to seeing how they apply what they’ve learned in the Circles program as future leaders in our community.”
