2/9/2024 0 Comments The Week in Reflection: 2/9Opening: Gratitude this WeekThe beauty of kindness creates energy and excitement is creative ways. As we continue #27BeTheChange, our students are spreading words of encouragement throughout the building, performing acts of kindness and making this month very meaningful. It was very busy week of organizing tons of information, and attending many winter events. It is hard to believe that we are weeks away from the beginning of the spring season. With the quarter ending in just under a month, it is mission critical to stay the course through the finish line! This edition of the Week in Reflection is filled with tons of information. Take the time to check everything out. If any parent or community member is interested in participating in #27BeTheChange to support our students or staff, please contact douglas.murrray@chardonschools.org. We would love parent and community engagement any time throughout the year--especially in February. Gratitude. It is said that gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all others. During this month, use your influence to impact others. Demonstrate, Love, Provide, Model, and GIVE Gratitude. One word, deed, or action can change a moment. Each day in February I plan on sending students and staff a gratitude message of what I am thank for. I will share with you each week, the focus addressed. February 5, 2024: Day 5- Friends and Community: Today I am grateful for friends and our community. Friends are an extension of our family providing us with humor, support, and love through good and bad times. Likewise, our community is the support system that lifts us up, encourages us, and is our core and our home. Together, they make us and shape us. February 6, 2024: Day 6- Educators: Today, I am grateful for all educators. Your job is endless, and your commitment to service is relentless. Teaching is an instinctual art, filled with the wonder and awe of endless possibilities. Educators are conduits to our family and leave a legacy of hope. February 7, 2024: Day 7-Health Care Workers: Today, I am grateful for healthcare workers across the world. Your love, compassion, service, knowledge, and gentle care have guided people for generations. You are heroes and miracle workers. February 8, 2024: Day 8 - First Responders: Today, I am grateful for all of the men and women who work around the clock protecting and serving the public. I value our relationship in Chardon. Your commitment to excellence, selfless service, and commitment to education nurture generations of families in our community. February 9, 2024: Day 9-Military Services: Today, I am grateful for our military services that serve with duty, honor, and service of others while protecting and leading. You are the first to get up and the last to rest. We appreciate you. February 10, 2024: Day 10-All Workers: Today, I am grateful for all workers, and the rights of workers. The dignity of work and the values learned from work build the foundation of our commitment to serve, build, create, and develop skills. Some people dream of success, while others wake up and work hard at it. February 11, 2024: Day 11-Water: Today, I am grateful for clean water. Our county is rich in an abundance of water. The simplest combination of elements nourishes us and energizes us. My heart reaches out to those who do not have access to clean water; together, we can do our part to conserve and be innovative in our efforts to reach those in the greatest need.

The selection of a high school program is a very important task and one in which you, your parents, and your school counselors should give careful thought.
It is essential that you decide which courses best fit your needs and register for them. Each year students are disappointed because a class they requested closes or cancels. Although all classes in the Program of Study may be initially offered, final decisions on class offerings will be determined by enrollment after board action. Please note that some classes are offered on a rotating basis; see specific course descriptions for information. For 2024-2025, Chardon Local Schools will again be partnering with Lakeland Community College for College Credit Plus (CCP) courses available on our campus. CCP offers qualified students the opportunity to enroll in college courses and earn college credit; which can also be used to fulfill high school graduation requirements. For more information regarding CCP, please meet with a school counselor. Students are encouraged to plan carefully a program of study that will assist them in reaching their educational goals. The college preparatory program, accelerated, advanced placement programs and the career/technical educational programs outlined on the following pages are designed to guide students in selecting the subjects that will lead them toward achieving their goals.

Topper Trait Featured Article: Kelly Misch
February 4, 2024 — Chardon High School senior CHARLOTTE JONS has once again brought pride to her school community, this time earning FIRST PLACE in the Ohio Speech and Debate Association's Program Oral Interpretation event at the 2024 Cleveland DISTRICT Tournament, advancing her to the OSDA 2024 STATE Tournament at Wooster High School March 1-2.
Charlotte, who competed in the District tournament at Olmsted Falls High School on Feb. 3, has repeatedly made Chardon history as an OSDA competitor. She is not only the District's first-ever OSDA State qualifier but has competed her way to the State tier of competition for several seasons. CHS OSDA Coach Roediger stated, "By qualifying, she has earned the distinction of being a four-year State qualifier, and she will be part of a select group of seniors who will be recognized for this distinction at awards at the tournament in March. She is only the second student I have coached who has achieved this honor." Coach Roediger, a Mentor High School chemistry teacher and MHS speech and debate coach, is a seasoned OSDA coach spanning over two decades of commitment to speech and debate students both in the Mentor Schools and Chardon Local Schools. Principal Doug Murray shared that he is so proud of Charlotte and is grateful for all Coach Roediger has done to support and prepare her for success. He added, "I cannot wait to get her on another Principal's Podcast." In 2023, Charlotte earned the OSDA State Champion title in POI and also competed in POI at the national-level through the National Speech and Debate Association. Best wishes to Charlotte at the 2024 State Tournament! Kelly Misch Communications Director Chardon Local Schools kelly.misch@chardonschools.org 440.286.0409 CHS Academic Decathlon
On Saturday, February 3rd the CHS Academic Decathlon team stormed Riverside High School to take on the live events of Regional Competition. Having taken 7 objective tests and written an essay online in January, they were still facing the Speech, Interview and Superquiz events. More than half the team are swimmers who had to perform their speeches and participate in Interview in the morning before making waves for Beechwood and a noon swim meet. This meant missing the afternoon awards ceremony at Riverside, and it's too bad they did. By the time the dust had settled, Chardon had garnered 36 individual medals on their way to being crowned Champions of the Large School Division! Congratulations CHS ACADEC on your 2024 Regional Championship! Special shoutout to Mr. Al Herner for not only this contribution to the Week in Reflection, but for his commitment to preparing our students for these competitions!

Douglas Murray, Principal Closing: Love
February provides us the opportunity to focus on our values, community, and future. In closing this week's edition of the Week in Reflection, I wanted to take a moment to include a perspective of a parent to their child about the unconditional love and dreams that they have for each of their children. This letter something that I stumbled upon years ago. In a time that often leads us feeling stuck in the middle of winter ---longing for spring---it is a little reminder of what really matters. February is a month of gratitude, compassion, love, purpose, and examples of who we are in Chardon.
Dear Son/Daughter, I wish for you to be kind. Each day, as I send you to school, I hug you, I kiss you, and then I say, "Be kind." In a world that, in some ways, is so cold and harsh, kindness matters. I would rather have you be known as the kindest than as the smartest. You never know what is going on in someone else's mind or heart, but being kind will never be the wrong choice. Being kind does not mean that you are not strong or determined, but that you treat others the way you would want to be treated. My wish for you is that you will be discerning. That you can view a situation or problem and handle it gracefully and mindfully. That you will weigh options and choices and listen to that small voice that helps you decide right from wrong. I wish for you bravery. Courage to do what is right. Lines between right and wrong are blurred these days, be brave. Be who you are. Stand up for your beliefs. Take chances. Reach and stretch to become the person you want to be. My wish for you is that you will learn from heartache. The mother/father in me wants to protect you from pain and hurt, but the logical part of my brain knows that's not always possible. I recognize that some of my greatest accomplishments and treasured blessings, including you, came from much pain and heartache. Great joy comes from knowing sadness and I want those joyful learning experiences for you. They will make you a better person. My wish is that you are grateful. You have many blessings already in life and many more are headed your way. Acknowledge them. Be grateful for them. Don't take them for granted. Recognize that challenges can be blessings as well. I wish for you truth. You might have to dig and scratch and fight for it, but find truth. Tell the truth. Be an honest person that people can count on. Being trustworthy is one of the most noble character traits you can develop. I wish for you a life full of laughter. As much of it as possible. I know you cherish how our family loves to laugh, and our home is full of laughter on a regular basis. Look for friends and loved ones that make you laugh. Laughter is indeed the best medicine in life. My wish for you is that you become unselfish. To serve and think of others is the most rewarding part of life. Serve the people around you, think of their feelings and emotions. By looking outside yourself you will find good qualities and traits in others to focus on and develop in your own life. My wish for you is to know you are loved...by me...by your family...by your teachers. As your life grows to include more and more people, surround yourself with people who love you for who you are. You have a beautiful soul, you deserve to be loved. Love is hard work, but work that is worth every effort. I want you to dream big, but to realize that with big dreams comes hard work. Dreams are worth working for. There is so much joy to be found in the little steps that make up big dreams. You have the capability to become whatever you want to be in life. Know that you are my biggest dream. I wished upon a star for years before my dreams came true. But that dream has been even better than I could have ever imagined. All of these things I wish for you, you have helped me find in myself. You have helped me be braver than I ever thought I would have to be. You make me laugh more than anyone else. You shower me with love, you make me think and rethink all my decisions, you help me dream big, and for you I am grateful. We love you, Your loving family

2/2/2024 0 Comments The Week in Reflection: 2/2Be The Change
Kindness has the power to transform lives, to heal emotions, and to spread joy and hope. It is a simple act of generosity that requires no special skills, no wealth, and no position of authority. Yet, its impact is profound and far-reaching. Kindness has the ability to light up a room, to bring a smile to someone's face, and to make the world a better place, one act at a time. February is perfect month to focus our intentions on the simplest of gestures. I encourage you to find ways to be create as a family, at your work, in classes, and most importantly--in your response to how one act can change the outcome to any day. Members of our Executive Student Council and Hilltopper Minds worked in December and January to present 2024's Focus in February:24BeThe Change.
If any parent or community member is interested in participating in #27BeTheChange to support our students or staff, please contact douglas.murrray@chardonschools.org. We would love parent and community engagement any time throughout the year--especially in February. Gratitude. It is said that gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all others. During this month, use your influence to impact others. Demonstrate, Love, Provide, Model, and GIVE Gratitude. One word, deed, or action can change a moment. Each day in February I plan on sending students and staff a gratitude message of what I am thank for. I will share with you each week, the focus addressed. February 1, 2024: Day 1- Faith: If you walk into my office you will see a chalkboard above my desk that marks my mission statement. Several words stand out. The first is Faith. Today, I am grateful for faith. The ability to have it, feel it, and live it. February 2, 2024: Day 2- Families: Today, I am grateful for the gift of families. The core of our lives looks different for all of us, but the roots grow strong and we always remember who we are and what we stand for. February 3, 2024: Day 3-Grandparents/Parents/Guardians: Our first teachers, guides, nurses, and first love--grandparents, parents, and guardians. They come in all unique styles and energy. Today, I am grateful for the unconditional love, kindness, and creativity of all of those who first protected us. February 4, 2024: Day 4- Children: It has been stated that Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see. Children are beautiful, gems in our eyes, gifts, and quite complicated passionate little loves. They are an endless book of wonder. Today, I give thanks for the joy and hope of our children.
