Grants in Action | 2026/2027 School Year
The transition to high school can be challenging, but Perrysburg High School’s Link Crew program helps incoming freshmen navigate this important milestone with confidence. Through this student-led mentoring program, upperclassmen serve as guides, helping freshmen build friendships, adjust to new expectations, and find their place in the PHS community.
Thanks to a Perrysburg Schools Foundation grant, PHS Special Education Teacher Michael Jaeger completed specialized training through The Boomerang Project to become a Link Crew advisor. Requested by PHS Principal Justin Fults, this professional development strengthened the program following staffing reductions, helping ensure its continued success.
“Having another Link Crew advisor means more support, encouragement, and chances to build meaningful connections with the incoming freshman class and student leaders,” shared Jaeger. “By working together, Link Crew helps to ensure every student feels seen, supported, and successful during their time at Perrysburg High School.” Impacting approximately 500 students, this investment develops student leaders, builds confidence, and creates a positive transition to high school. Through the generosity of PSF donors, Link Crew can continue making a lasting difference for incoming Yellow Jackets.
