Megan Calderone's sister Abbey was diagnosed with bone cancer this summer and now she wants to find a way to give back this holiday season.
When the Calderone family found out their youngest member Abbey, 16, had cancer this summer, their world stood still. "We were all shocked," said Megan Calderone, Abbey's sister and a Copley High graduate. "It came out of nowhere. It's not hereditary or anything." The sisters were at a dance class when Abbey began complaining about a pain in her knee. In the Calderone household, the cure for that was to ice it. But when the pain didn't go away, and Abbey's teacher expressed concern, Abbey and her family went to the doctor. Abbey was diagnosed with bone cancer.

The fourth grade class has been working since September to fund various class projects.
Every class leaves behind a legacy. At Arrowhead Primary School, Principal Andrew La Badie makes sure it's a good one. Each year the school administrators and PTA group sit down to think of a gift the fourth grade class can leave at the school. The class raises money for the project and uses it to buy things that wouldn't normally be bought with district money. "We pick an idea or an area that needs some attention in the school," La Badie said. "Then we come up with a plan and we give the students the opportunities to raise money for the project through the course of the year." This year the students are raising money to buy a giant metal arrowhead to put outside the front of the school. It will be crafted by local artist Frank Comunale…

The Nature Zone was one of six gardens on the Tour of Gardens sponsored by Master Gardener Volunteers of Summit County in June. As a Master Gardener tour volunteer at Arrowhead, I wandered through the many themed gardens, …
