'Common Grounds' Brings Neighbors Together In Cleveland Heights

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — More than half a dozen "Common Grounds" events will be held in Cleveland Heights on June 30.

Residents are invited to attend the school district's event which will be held at Cain Park from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The goal of that is to spark conversation on the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Schools and how the district is connected to residents and families.

Attendees will gather at the top of Cain Park Hill. Guests should bring a beverage or dish for the lunch time meeting.
