Gaitway Greenhouse Day of GIving 2023

The Gaitway Greenhouse Project started in the Spring of 2020 after Gaitway High School was awarded with a small grant from the Geauga Soil & Water Conservation District.  Gaitway students constructed the Gaitway Greenhouse during the 2021-2022 school year on the campus of Fieldstone Farm Therapeutic Riding Center.  From 2022 until now, Gaitway students took part in various greenhouse projects that supplied local restaurants with edible garnishes.  Unfortunately, the windy weather in Bainbridge Township has decimated our greenhouse to a point of no repair.  No amount of duct tape could hold the panels in place.  We are forced to start anew and to rebuild!  We are asking for your help to raise money for this rebuild of the Gaitway Greenhouse.  Please consider donating to our Gaitway Greenhouse Day of Giving 2023! 

CPI Training Services

Duration: August to June upon request 
This training is designed to introduce educators and human service professionals to nonviolent crisis interventions. Individuals who directly intervene in crisis situations learn decision-making skills to match the level of response to the risk of crisis, focusing on the least-restrictive response. This includes recognizing the stages of an escalating crisis and learning evidence-based techniques to appropriately de-escalate. Educators and human service professionals will earn continuing education credits.  Initial training must be completed first, followed by an annual refresher training. To schedule a CPI training course please reach out to Brittany Garrett at [email protected].
