'Seminole pride alive and well'

Oct. 7, 2024-- Intermediate South, established in 2005, celebrated its 20-year anniversary Oct. 5, and the event was a resounding success.

"This just goes to show that the South community is supportive, strong, and successful," said Intermediate South Assistant Principal Casey Daniel.

The incredible weather certainly helped. And so did the all-hands-on-deck support of the school's staff, families and friends, Beachwood Mayor William Cairns, the Beachwood Fire and First Aid departments, which all contributed to the event.

And that wasn't all. The Seminole Foursome Kindness Club had pumpkins to decorate. The school's Interact Club and Student Council had friendship bracelets to make. The Art Club—led by the talented teacher Jaime Fischer—created a 20th-year mural for all to contribute that will be hung in the cafeteria once completed. There was also a bounce house courtesy of Shore Inflatables, popcorn, food trucks and cuisine from City Eats, shaved ices and iced cream from Davey B'ZZ's, and Universal DJs supplied the most of the music.

Most of the music because the day also featured the student band Permanent Distortion (above), who were "simply incredible and beyond talented," according to Daniel.

"This day truly solidified that Seminole pride is alive and well at Intermediate South," said Principal Paul Gluck.
