MEDINA, Ohio — A project started by a Buckeye Junior High School teacher to help better connect students with staff is now helping connect students with other peers. News 5 first showed you The Confetti Project years ago and we continue to follow through on how the program expands beyond a post-COVID-19 world.
For eighth grader Ava Wolf having face-to-face conversations and sharing important lessons with her younger buddies from the confetti project readings is important. “Kids are feeling whether they realize it or not, they are feeling in isolation and don’t know how to look people in the eye and have conversations,” said Keith. “So, they want connection so to put their phones down and to get to choose books about topics that are important to them is really important”
President of the Ohio Federation of Teachers, Melissa Cropper, said the plan is to expand the Confetti Project to schools across Ohio and the country.
