When art and literature are mixed and matched, creative results are bound to form. The Medina Chamber of Commerce meeting was held to represent the creativity and ideas students from the district of Medina could show. On November 1st the Chamber of Commerce meeting was organized in the Weymouth Country Club dining hall. It was held by the school board, and six total schools attended the meeting, including Medina High School.

Medina High School went to the meeting with their creative exchange projects where students from Mrs. Smith’s painting one class painted a piece based on a certain mood or emotion of their choice. Students from Mrs.Kriner’s sophomore language arts class were then presented the paintings and were told to write about the art. Allison Custer, a senior from the painting class, was representing Medina High school at the meeting. “It was fun and interesting to see how my art was perceived and interpreted by others,” Custer stated.

Medina High School set up a table with both the painting and literature pieces; it was a popular stop for members of the school board. Aaron Sable said he enjoyed seeing all the creativity at the MHS creative exchange table. Students representing Garfield elementary school were impressed by the talent the High School students had to offer.
Other schools also attended the Chamber of Commerce meeting: A.I. Root Middle School, Heritage Elementary, Garfield Elementary, Fenn Elementary, and Northrop Elementary. A.I. Root Middle school brought students from the Medical Detectives class. At this table, viewers were taught how to read detailed lab results from Raymond Kolicki and Adynn Thorton, both 7th-grade students. They also taught visitors how to use a Pulsox and a motor neuron. Violet LaMarca, 13, showed members a sheep brain and explained how their teacher, Ms. Farruggia, had dissected the sheep brain in class and how students learned all about the layout of the brain.
The main focus of the 2022 Chamber of Commerce meeting was to demonstrate what hands-on learning can do for students. Medina City School Board members were glad to see the growth of knowledge throughout the district.
