Each year, the Foundation sponsors the Medina City School district’s “Going the Extra Mile” awards.  This award recognizes Medina City Schools staff members who demonstrate an exemplary work ethic, are great role models, demonstrate pride and enthusiasm in the workplace, and go the “extra mile” serving on committees, assisting others, improving the culture within their building or department, spread kindness, and do good deeds.
