EUCLID CITY SCHOOLS LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE!
Keeping up with technology has become quite a challenge in today’s world with new
devices, new forms of social media, and new apps that can do things like close your garage
door. Information is literally at your fingertips and now Euclid City Schools’ is too! With the
touch of a button on your smartphone, you can download the Euclid City Schools Mobile App,
which brings you up to the minute news, pictures, videos, social media feeds, and events. The
app is free and available in the Google Play and Apple App Stores. Simply search, “Euclid
City Schools” in the search tab.
While you are checking your Facebook, check out all eight of the Euclid City Schools’ Facebook Pages. Each building has their very own page, so that we can show you all the growing,
learning, and exciting events that happen in our buildings everyday. Whether it is the 5th
grade Chocolate Emporium, the 3rd grade Living Wax Museum, or the Dancing Classrooms
Grand Performance, you can keep up and share pictures and videos with family and friends.
Arbor, Bluestone, Chardon Hills, Shoreview, Central, Forest Park, EHS, and the Early Learning
Center are all waiting for your “like!” While you are at it, take a minute to check out Euclid
City Schools’ twitter feed @euclidschools. Follow us for honors, schedule changes, and lots of
other information in 140 characters or less.
Come August, a visit to www.euclidschools.org will look distinctly different from what visitors are used to seeing. After eight months of renovation, a brand new, user-friendly website
will be unveiled. The goal of the upgrade was to make the site easily navigable, make
resources accessible for students and parents, and advance our technological capabilities
inside and outside of the classroom. Here you will find a link to the URL that will link you to
our YouTube page! Head on over to www.youtube.com/euclidEDtv to watch board meetings
and special projects like our “We Believe” video made for our awesome Sophomores as they
faced Ohio Graduation Testing.
With all of the different ways we have expanded our virtual presence, we are also expanding technology in the classroom. Giving our students a competitive edge with 21st century skills
is our priority, as well as preparing them for state testing that will be done online starting in
2015. Textbooks are now available online for math, social studies, and science, which means
that we need to have the proper tools for students to access the most up-to-date curriculum.
Hardbound textbooks cost the district a significant amount of money, while online textbooks
provide the most current curriculum while utilizing district resources in the most cost efficient way.
ChromeBooks are incredibly powerful machines, capable of high-end computing at a very
reasonable cost. Our teachers can manage these machines in their classrooms to ensure they
are used as tools, not toys. A teacher can see each student’s screen, manage that screen, and
with one click of a button can close a webpage on the students machine remotely. One of
the critical advantages with integrating ChromeBooks is that they are completely web-based
tools. Students can go from the classroom to home using whatever hardware they have at
home. They can even use a smartphone to submit coursework, collaborate with peers, complete
assignments, or ask for clarification from a teacher. The only thing that they need is an Internet
connection! We place an enormous emphasis on “anywhere/anytime learning,” students creating content, solving real-world problems and collaborating with each other to do so.
Euclid City Schools is thrilled to call itself a 21st century district, providing access to learning
and connecting in a state-of-the-art way. The District mobile app, eight Facebook Pages, Twitter feed, and a YouTube Channel all help us connect with YOU! So next time you are updating
your status, tweeting hashtags, watching videos or downloading new apps for your smartphone type in Euclid City Schools and see what happens. We can’t wait to connect with you!

Northeast Ohio has long welcomed immigrants from a diverse range of countries and continents. A simple drive down Martin
Luther King Jr. Drive along the Cultural Gardens testifies to this. Euclid in particular has been home to hundreds of Slovenians,
Lithuanians and Croatians, just to name a few, that have settled in Euclid to build not only a home but their business as well.
A more recent and exciting trend is the growth of Euclidians originating from West Africa. While the numbers are not vast,
according to the US Census, the number of Subsaharan Africans, predominately West Africans, residing in Euclid have doubled
since 2000 (326 vs. 608). This small but vibrant group of families brings diversity and cultural richness to our City. Africanthemed and owned businesses in Euclid are not in abundance but they are steadily growing, especially as native-born Americans
become more and more aware of the cultural richness they bring to our community.
BARWULU HOOKES AFRICAN FOOD MART
William Hookes, owner and operator of Barwulu Hookes African Food Mart on E. 222nd St. is a hard working man. Family
Grocer by day and RTA train operator by night, William Hookes has been operating Barwulu Hookes African Food Mart for the
past 11 years. “Barwulu” translates to “prayer” or “praying” in the Bassa language, a predominately Liberian language.
Originally from Liberia, William has resided in Cleveland and Euclid since 1980. In 2002, he and his late-wife opened their
store at 917 E. 222nd St. in order to supply the ingredients needed to make traditional Liberian and West African dishes. “Feel
like you are home by the way you feed,” shares William.
Barwulu Hookes African Food Mart supplies a wide variety of food items that are familiar to Liberian and West African cooks:
dried and smoked fish and chicken, traditional African fruits and vegetables, seasonings, palm oil, fufu and so much more.
Hookes also sells personal care products such as raw shea butter and African apparel such as dashikis, purses and hand-made
knit clothing made by employee Alice Welwolie. Alice, who is also an entrepreneur, is available for catering and African cooking
lessons and can be contacted through the store.
Barwulu Hookes African Food Mart is open from 10am-8pm, Monday-Saturday.
FEELING AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING
Feeling African Hair Braiding has been a Euclid business for over 10 years. Starting out on the Eastern side of E. 222nd St.
adjacent to where Barwulu Hookes African Food Mart is now located, store owner Sarah, a native of the Ivory Coast, has since
moved the establishment across the street to the corner of E. 222nd St. and Miller Ave.
Feeling African Hair Braiding specializes in women’s hair. They do micro-braids, Senegalese twists, box-braids and so much more. Sarah explains that “braids are very convenient,
BARWULU AFRICAN
you can wake up in the morning and your hair is already done… it cleans and sharpens
FOOD MART
917 East 222nd Street
up your appearance to make you look beautiful.” Sarah adds, “braiding is also a type
Euclid, OH 44123
of face-lifting, the braids pull slightly on your face helping you look fresh and younger.”
216-261-0553
Traditionally, hair braiding in Africa is a fairly slow process, where the braiders take
FEELING AFRICAN
their time to get their desired look. Sarah notes that in the US, clients are pressed for time
HAIR BRAIDING
and are in much more of a hurry. At Feeling, they often use two people to speed up the
928 East 222nd Street
process and still achieve the same quality design and finish.
Euclid, OH 44123
Feeling African Hair Braiding is open from 9am-6pm, 7 days-a-week. They offer back216-289-4534
to-school and holiday specials. Call or stop in to find out more.
