Student Painting

Aedyn Kraft, an 11th-grade student at River High School, was recently recognized by the Cleveland Clinic for her talents. Aedyn submitted her original acrylic painting, “Drowning in Opioids,” to the Cleveland Clinic’s eXpressions program. 

Aedyn’s painting was recognized with a White Ribbon, which means her work will be showcased on the program website, in the eXpressions catalog, and in the 2020 Art, Language, and MathExhibition Conference at Cleveland Clinic’s Health Education Campus.

Launched in 2005, Expressions is an award-winning educational initiative that utilizes creative expression to engage high school students in the exploration of science and medicine. Through project-based, peer-to-peer learning, students translate research studies conducted by Cleveland Clinic high school interns, producing artistic, literary and mathematical interpretations of the science. Over 1,400 art, language and math projects from three states, 59 schools, and 100 teachers were submitted.

All of us at Switzerland of Ohio Local School District are so proud of Aedyn and her accomplishment. Congratulations Aedyn! We look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!
