A Cleveland company gave an enormous gift Monday to a Cleveland school, one that has been doing things “differently” since it was established a few years ago.
Cliffs Natural Resources, formerly known as Cleveland Cliffs, made the subtantial investment in Village Prep, an inner-city school with 180 kindergartners and first graders.
“This is the most phenomenal thing that has ever happened to the organization,” said Village Prep founder John Zitzner. “It really allows us to keep moving forward in the right direction, to keep expanding, to keep adding more children.”
Village Prep, which started only one year ago, has a partner middle school, Entrepreneur Preparatory School, or E-Prep, which was founded in 2006 and has 300 students.
Both are located in Tyler Village, a renovated factory at East 36th Street and Superior Avenue.
