$210,000 Donation Made To Strongsville Schools

STRONGSVILLE, OH — The Strongsville Schools received a $210,000 donation from Serpentini Chevrolet last week. The money will be used to support field turf replacements and memorialize the turf field at Strongsville Middle School.

“We are always excited to be involved in improving the environment for Strongsville students’ extracurricular activities, and their overall school experience,” said Bob Serpentini, owner of Serpentini Chevrolet.

Thanks to the donation, the Strongsville Middle School turf field will be named Serpentini Field and the scoreboards in Strongsville High's main gym will bear the Serpentini name. The $210,000 donation will support district activities and athletic boosters activities, a district spokesperson said.

Serpentini will also continue to donate an automobile annually to boost fundraising for the Strongsville Athletic Boosters.

“Community engagement is one of our three district goals. The commitment that Serpentini Chevrolet has made to Strongsville City Schools is a prime example of the positive relationships and the support that our local businesses and organizations provide to help our students, teachers, and staff continue to achieve success,” said Richard Micko, Strongsville Board of Education president.

Serpentini Chevrolet has been a significant financial partner to the Strongsville Schools for years. In 2016, the auto dealership donated more than $400,000 to the district to support the turf project at the high school.

“Bob and his entire staff have been strong partners and supporters of our district for several years and we appreciate their generous donation. Their continued partnership and financial commitment is a great benefit to Strongsville City Schools and is another example of a community partner investing in the future of our District and students,” said Cameron Ryba, superintendent of Strongsville City Schools.
