To whom it made concern I Wannette Demore was the very first student to graduate from CSA 2064 Stern road, Cleveland, Ohio 44106. And I would like to visit the school again if I may because we were the class who designed pictures on the wall in their old building. Also, I am interested in a job position as a teacher, and I have worked with the Cleveland Metro district for seven years. As and Paraprofessional Special Education - Instructional Assistant Teacher. If it is possible could Set up an appointment to visit the school. I also help with dance class and photography- theatre-directed plays at CSA. Love the ARTS CSA High School. Thank you
