Week in Reflection

The Week in Reflection: Season 7, Episode 46

5/23/2022

Picture
Reflection is an important act that regardless of your profession or role, is something that we all need to take part in regularly. On a daily basis, the interactions we have, the actions we take, and the decisions we make, likely have an impact on someone else, ourselves, or otherwise that we may never be aware of. Personally, reflecting was not something that I had always done. Nowadays it is all that I do. Lucky for you [eye-roll intended] my thoughts come once a week in this newsletter. However, as a student in high school and growing up, the only time that I felt like reflecting was on Sunday mornings. Little did I know that reflecting once a week would begin a journey for me.
​
As a teacher, for many of my beginning years, colleagues would ask for my thoughts on a lesson that I had taught, or my principal would discuss an observation with me and ask me to reflect on my lesson. But other than those experiences, reflecting was not something that I could say I did on a regular basis--besides on Sunday. I was not intentional about it and did not fully realize the importance of doing so for many years. No single event transformed me into a reflective learner--but a culmination of many things: teaching, coaching, working, and children. My eyes began to open to a much bigger world and my place within it.

In 2003, I began to write more and I modeled this for my students as they began to journal, I made sure that every assignment had a purpose of engagement and my students began to blossom as readers, thinkers, and writers. It was that year that I was nominated to speak to the students at Commencement.

From that point forward, almost everything that I did was reflective. I became very involved in community engagement while reflecting on each experience as an opportunity to grow as a person. It just became my thing. 

In order to bring our best selves into our classrooms each day, we (students and staff) must evaluate our own practice and use a reflective process to grow as people. We also need to help each other develop these skills. It is important that we model reflection and provide different ways for our children to reflect as well. Not only will we help them build their skills, become self-aware and develop a greater understanding of their interests and needs, but we will also provide them with learning experiences that will benefit them in the future regardless of where their education takes them or which careers they pursue later on in life. 

Looking back, it is hard to reflect upon the tens of thousands of printed pages from the Week in Reflection this year. It is a daunting novel, with a true beginning, and the 149th finish line on Saturday. Notice it doesn't have an ending. It allows for new stories to develop from the class of 2022 while the rest of the student body writes their story. I really love and appreciate all of our students for who they are, where they are, and where they are going.  Use this summer to reflect on your story and your place in this shared experience.

Reflecting is important for all of us because it’s how we evaluate our actions. We can explore who we are, whether looking at the qualities and traits that we convey to others, our behaviors, and how we interact with other people. It’s important that we continue to understand ourselves and work on bringing our best selves to our families every day and to those with whom we work. When we work on this together, we will have it become a regular part of our daily practice and will continue to grow. I believe in all of you and my hope is that you take this summer to regroup, re-energize, and renew your purpose!

With love, 
​-Murray

  •  Gowns should be pressed before being worn to any of the graduation exercises.
  • Students who end the school year in good standing may wear Honor Cords (from approved Chardon High School leadership, academic, and theatrical activities) displayed appropriately over their gowns.
 
After graduation ceremonies, caps and gowns are yours to keep as a memento of the occasion.  Any student not participating in graduation ceremonies will receive a refund of cap and gown payment.

School Fees

I appreciate you going through Infinite Campus and administering payments throughout the year.  Every year that fees are not addressed they can add up to a fee total that can be overbearing. By the end of the senior year,  the district must close out all fees that are remaining. Please review any outstanding fees and make payment by the end of the school year for grades 8-12. 

Chardon High School can hold transcripts upon graduation to a post secondary institution for non-payment of fees,.

Please review the statement and continue to use Infinite Campus to review and pay fees. If you need access to Infinite Campus, please go to the Chardon Schools website under the resources section to learn more about access information to Infinite Campus and paying fees online.

Mrs. Newman's Mythology class compared and contrasted one aspect of three different culture's myths for their final.  Students researched creation myths, sun gods, air gods, afterlife, etc.  They chose which medium or genre in which they wanted to present their information.  Students made posters, created Google slide presentations, wrote short stories, and painted watercolors.

Pictured here is Katie Schuler's watercolor paintings of the afterlife of three different types of mythology. From top to bottom: Land of Reeds (Egyptian), Valhalla (Norse), and Elysian Fields (Greek).

Class of 2022: Parting Words

Picture
During the last year or so, after your parents first realized that the rest of your life had inexplicably sped past, they tried not to be obvious. But maybe you noticed. In spite of all that you were going through in school, sports, and even at work, your family tried to slow the calendar, stop the clock. They were trying, of course, to hang on to you.
 
The very thing that they committed to year’s ago- rearing, raising, training you for independence- your parents now began to fear. I’m sure some may have been emotional; they may have been firm, or even built walls between you. Every sign that indicated you had learned and matured and were ready to face the world only reminded them how young you seemed.
 
But your parents couldn’t run from the truth. You were leaving and the day was coming soon. Some of your parents may have been so desperate to hang on that they couldn’t even exult in your growth and progress. Why, you ask, a lot of it was due to your maddening independence, that I-can-do-it-myself attitude that reminded both of them so much of their own adolescence, or even that look that asked, “Why do you have to know everything?” or “What does it matter to you?” may have cemented in their aching heart the truth: You had become your own person.
 
It’s what they had wanted. But, your time together this year went by too quickly. There may have been days when they didn’t want it at all. Yet, throughout all the fights over applications, and deadlines, your parents knew that this was for the best. It’s time. And maybe from their perspective, there will never be a good time. Your parents have realized that the longer they hang on to you, the more they protect you from the real world. If you don’t jump in, you’ll never find yourself. And so they must nudge you from the nest.
 
Seeing you leave for college or your career may remind them of the first time they let you go in the water. Only this time they are not going to be at arm’s length, ready to grab as you panic. They will not stand by with reassuring words that say, “I’m just seeing if you can float alone.” For this is the real thing. Your parents will let you go; you will be on your own, and they will back away.
 
The other metaphor that may come to mind is your first time on two wheels. Mom or dad ran along beside, reaching, adjusting, holding the seat, helping you gain momentum and speed. Soon you were on your wobbly way, unable to turn, riding through puddles, over curbs, slowing to painful, tumbling stops before leaping up to try again.
 
Now they will give your two-wheeler one last shove and watch. No more running alongside. You had enough of that. You won’t admit it, but there will be times when you whirl around expecting your parents to be there. They won't be, and you will think twice about calling, about asking to be bailed out of a jam.
 
There will be bumps and bruises and as much as they would like to protect you from them, your parents will walk away to see you grow. You may be swindled, maybe even endangered because of your own innocence. Your parents could intervene, could warn you, or could slow you on a headlong path to believing someone because “he seemed like a great guy, or she seemed like a great girl.” They could urge you to let time be the test of relationships, to think twice, even three times, before investing in anything. But you must learn from your own mistakes.
 
Your parents and teachers know because they have been there. We all have gone against our own better judgment, so why shouldn’t you? Even I knew better, or should have. I have been told enough times by my own parents. But some things you must learn on your own. You may fail, and you will kick yourself and wonder why you forged ahead. There will come a time that you will know that your life was shaped by the lessons you could learn only from your own mistakes.
 
Graduates of 2022, I am at an age, where I finally can realize the wisdom, encouragement, and love that a parent gives to a child. As a parent of two beautiful daughters--the love shared between parents to their children is never a superficial root that may drive you away from their love, but a permanent foundation that grants you the opportunity to blossom into an adult. You must realize that as you transition into a new chapter of your life, your parents, brothers, sisters, and even your friends are going through the same transition.  I know that your parents are so proud of you. Even through the good and bad times of this year, you have grown in such a way that radiates the beauty of every one of you. 

Graduates, look around. You are so gifted and talented. Your class emulates success. Academically, athletically, socially, and within the community, Your parents, and teachers have watched you grow daily and we are so proud to honor you today in your accomplishments. Many people state that you are the future. You are more than that. You Are The Strength Of Today.

Forever in my heart, 
Mr. Murray

​During the last week of school, student in grades 8-11 will report to school each period. The only sections that are not mandatory to report to is study hall, and few already assessed mixed courses. All study halls will be supervised as regularly scheduled. Breakfast will only be served during exam week. Furthermore, transportation will run at regular times for those students that need morning and afternoon transportation. All students in grades 8-11 will either be in class for the end of the year closure activities, project presentations, tests for the quarter, or final examinations. The school day begins at the regularly scheduled times, and concludes at 11:30 AM. The time placed aside for these courses allows each student to best prepare for last classes with their teacher for this quarter. There are some very important reminders to how grades are assessed for the end of the year:
​
GRADE DETERMINATION - The final grade for a course is determined by GPA in all grades 8-12:

A -- 3.50 or above        B -- 2.50 to 3.49        C -- 1.50 to 2.49        D -- 0.50 to 1.49

In order to pass any course a student must have attained each of the following:
1.    Have a grade average 0.5 or above
2.    Pass three out of five grades for a year-long course
3.    Pass two out of three grades for a semester course
4.    Pass one of the last 2 grades of the course (the fourth (4) nine weeks and the final exam)

On the day scheduled for each subject’s midterm/final exam, the teacher will give a final test or conduct some other type of final assessment learning experience. Students are expected to attend their exam period unless prior arrangements are made and confirmed. Failure to do so will result in a failing grade on the midterm/final. The final exam/assessment will be weighted as 1/3 of the final grade for a semester course or 1/5 of the final grade for a year-long course.  Teachers will record an Incomplete grade as an F if the student fails to make up the work by an agreed upon deadline.

GRADING POLICY - The Chardon Board of Education adopted the following grading scale for all students.
    A    90 -100
    B    80 - 89
    C    70 - 79 
    D    60 - 69

INCOMPLETES - Incompletes, as stated by board policy, that are recorded on report cards must be changed within three weeks after the grading period has ended unless prior arrangements have been made.

Each quarter grade the following points are earned. 
4 points for an A        3 points for a B        2 points for a C        1 point for a D
​

To determine the final course grade the points for each quarter and the final exam are added together and then averaged. The final grade for a course is determined by the average of the points earned.

​Eligibility : Your work this quarter allows you the ability to play this fall. Be certain to understand this policy.

I think I can. I think I can

Picture
The Little Engine That Could is an American folktale that became widely known in the United States after publication in 1930 by Platt & Munk. The story is used to teach children the value of optimism and hard work. 

One of the key lines from the book is I think I can, I think I can.


Throughout the week, this mantra crossed many of our minds at CHS. With the beautiful weather surrounding this week, the last round of AP testing, Spirit Week, Prom, After Prom, Playoffs, Senior Awards, and literally 87 make-up games and meets--it was a marathon. A good marathon for adults certainly has benefits, but many students and staff alike are longing for the finish line.  We will get there, but the mantra needs to change from I think I can to I know I will. 

There are so many events that have either happened this week, this weekend or leading into next week that is important to read these details carefully. Make today great!

Nominee: 2023 Ohio Teacher of the Year- Mrs. Tara Kaiser

Picture
In February, I nominated Mrs. Tara Kaiser as a candidate for the 2023 Ohio Teacher of the Year. This week, we were notified that Mrs. Kaiser was named a nominee for this prestigious award.  Within the 610 schools districts in Ohio that most likely have over 100-200 teachers per district, being awarded as a nominee is an enormous accomplishment. There are many amazing teachers in our building and district that equally  show the dedication aligned to our mission. What stands out with Mrs. Kaiser is her countless ways that she weaves our core values, continuous community outreach, and differentiated styles to meet the learning styles of all of her students.

Enclosed is the paragraph that I wrote for Mrs. Kaiser:  Chardon Local Schools reconfigured buildings in 2018 to meet enrollment and economic needs. During this period of time, the high school brought the 8th-grade class into the building. This daunting task was overwhelming for every stakeholder. However, throughout all of this, Tara Kaiser brought energy, expertise, passion, and such value to the students and staff at Chardon High School. Her focus on relationships, intervention, extraordinary use of technology, and ability to adapt to the culture and climate at Chardon High School has been extraordinary. The students absolutely love her class, and the staff loves her energy. Parents love her ability to communicate and adapt to all learning styles. She is on many committees inside of the building, leading PLC's, strategic plans, and intentionally goes to watch her students in extra-curricular activities. She is often the first to volunteer, and always asks how she can help. She knows her purpose, lives the vision and mission of our district, and understands how wellness leads to understanding the standards.


Let's celebrate this awesome nominee! 

Spotlight CHS C.R.E.W - Makes the News!

School Fees

As we transition to the last few weeks of the school year, it is important that parents/guardians review any outstanding school fees prior to the end of the year. I appreciate you going through Infinite Campus and administering payments throughout the year.  Every year that fees are not addressed they can add up to a fee total that can be overbearing. By the end of the senior year,  the district must close out all fees that are remaining. Please review any outstanding fees and make payment by the end of the school year for grades 8-12. 

Chardon High School can hold transcripts upon graduation to a post secondary institution for non-payment of fees,.

Please review the statement and continue to use Infinite Campus to review and pay fees. If you need access to Infinite Campus, please go to the Chardon Schools website under the resources section to learn more about access information to Infinite Campus and paying fees online.

Underclass Class/ Exam Schedule:  (Read Online)

Picture
During the last week of school, student in grades 8-11 will report to school each period. The only sections that are not mandatory to report to is study hall, and few already assessed mixed courses. All study halls will be supervised as regularly scheduled. Breakfast will only be served during exam week. Furthermore, transportation will run at regular times for those students that need morning and afternoon transportation. All students in grades 8-11 will either be in class for the end of the year closure activities, project presentations, tests for the quarter, or final examinations. The school day begins at the regularly scheduled times, and concludes at 11:30 AM. The time placed aside for these courses allows each student to best prepare for last classes with their teacher for this quarter. There are some very important reminders to how grades are assessed for the end of the year:
GRADE DETERMINATION - The final grade for a course is determined by GPA in all grades 8-12:

A -- 3.50 or above        B -- 2.50 to 3.49        C -- 1.50 to 2.49        D -- 0.50 to 1.49

In order to pass any course a student must have attained each of the following:
1.    Have a grade average 0.5 or above
2.    Pass three out of five grades for a year-long course
3.    Pass two out of three grades for a semester course
4.    Pass one of the last 2 grades of the course (the fourth (4) nine weeks and the final exam)

On the day scheduled for each subject’s midterm/final exam, the teacher will give a final test or conduct some other type of final assessment learning experience. Students are expected to attend their exam period unless prior arrangements are made and confirmed. Failure to do so will result in a failing grade on the midterm/final. The final exam/assessment will be weighted as 1/3 of the final grade for a semester course or 1/5 of the final grade for a year-long course.  Teachers will record an Incomplete grade as an F if the student fails to make up the work by an agreed upon deadline.

GRADING POLICY - The Chardon Board of Education adopted the following grading scale for all students.
    A    90 -100
    B    80 - 89
    C    70 - 79 
    D    60 - 69

INCOMPLETES - Incompletes, as stated by board policy, that are recorded on report cards must be changed within three weeks after the grading period has ended unless prior arrangements have been made.

Each quarter grade the following points are earned. 
4 points for an A        3 points for a B        2 points for a C        1 point for a D
​

To determine the final course grade the points for each quarter and the final exam are added together and then averaged. The final grade for a course is determined by the average of the points earned.

​Eligibility : Your work this quarter allows you the ability to play this fall. Be certain to understand this policy.

#NeverQuit

Picture
It is that time of the week when I quote a song. The best one that comes to mind is David Bowie's Under Pressure​. 
​

It has been been a pressure filled week and it is so important to pause at the end of all of the communications, tasks, meetings, and plans to take a deep breath. It is important to reflect on all of the positives and ways that those we encountered where influenced by our care. 

I am in constant contact with information. I am constantly work, serving, and reading. Recently, I stumbled upon  an obscure study from the University of Arizona that indicates that men and women average around 15-16,000 words a day. When you think about it, that is a ton of communication. The question is how have we used our words to influence, create kindness, and positively impact others versus cause stress, frustration, or sadness.  Our words matter and our reflection of our words matter. Sometimes, the best words are no words.  We become active listeners.  Be You, Be Kind, BeLIEVE! The finish line is just around the corner.

Image of the Week

Picture
​This year, Mr. Mizen's Leadership class learned about Philanthropy in the second semester.  The capstone project that these students had to complete was called Magnified Giving.  This Cincinnati organization gives students the opportunity to give a $1000.00 donation to their favorite non-profit organization.  Eight Ohio non profits were selected and the Leadership students had to give a presentation to win over the other students and have them choose their non-profit to get the $1000.00 grant.  After a couple of weeks of presentations, the students narrowed the field to two nonprofits.  The two finalists had to then film a video of their selection and present it to the eighth grade class during their Circuit of Success class.  After careful consideration, Johnny Smarzly and Braden Schmauder's non-profit called "Pets for Patience" won the competition and Magnified Giving will be sending this organization in the name of Chardon High Schools students Johnny Smarzly and Braden Schmauder'a check for $1000.00.

QPR Training

Picture
This past week 50 students were trained in QPR (Question, Persuade, and Refer) by members of the Geauga Sheriff Departments Loss Team and the ESC of Lake County.  Special thank you to Mrs. Lisa Cardina and Mrs. Danielle Veon for supporting the students.  A huge thank you to the Chardon Athletic Boosters for donating Hilltopper items for this event. 

Key messages from the training included the idea of friends never let friends keep secrets about suicide, tell an adult, and students should know where to get help immediately. 

Ravenwood staff taught students about the Geauga County Copeline and other 24/7 hotlines. This helped the students to understand what happens when a hotline call is made.

2022-2023 Executive Student Council

Picture
Literally, over the past four weeks, students in grades 8-11 have gone through a gauntlet of real-life experiences while applying for Executive Student Council. The higher the grade level, the more complex the process becomes with interviewing for 20 minutes, receiving a panel score, posting the application's responses for review, voting at the student and staff level, and compiling the percentages. This continued until we were able to fill each presidential and officer position, along with compiling the members at large. Much thanks to Carrie Korenke, Dan Chenoweth, Stacey Tekavec, Holly Mihalek, Doug Higham, Amanda Bondi, Mrs. Biernacki, and Mrs. Tupaz who all served on the interviewing panel.   ​

Closing Reflection

Happy Mother's Day!
​
After everything you've done for me — the opportunities you've handed me, the countless mood swings you've endured from me, the life you've given up for me — I'm supposed to send you a card with flowers, and that's supposed to be enough?


Flowers, cards and massage gift certificates do not get my point across. Taking you out to dinner won't do it justice. Buying you balloons isn't going to inflate my point. All of it seems so… trite.

A Hallmark card won't ever be able to explain exactly why I love you.
​
Exactly why I'm proud to call you my mom. Exactly how grateful I am for you.
Instead, I'll just tell you.

I'll tell you exactly why I respect you, not try and fit it into some two-by-two-inch card.

I will tell you exactly what I should say every day of every month of every year. I'll tell you exactly why I love you.
  • Your contagious laugh
  • How you would always read to me every night
  • Your welcoming smile and how you make me smile
  • The kindness you show everyone even if they don’t deserve it
  • The sacrifices you’ve made so you could give me everything
  • Because you taught me to be a better person
  • How I know you’ll always be there for me no matter what
  • How you lead by example and inspire me to be so much
  • How you go out of your way to help others
  • Your passion for life; even if you have a rough day you keep going
  • Whenever I need a hand, you’re always will to lend me yours
  • Your delicious cooking
  • How you do so very much, but never ask for anything in return
  • You’re always there to cheer me on and give me encouragement when it’s needed most
  • Your warm loving hugs
  • You taught me that it’s okay to laugh at yourself and make mistakes
  • Because you gave me life and brought me into this world
  • Most of all… I love you for who you are and who you’ve helped me become… you’re my role model, my mother and my friend

Happy Mother's Day to all of our CHS Moms!

The Work of our Hands

Picture
It is impossible to know from external appearances what kinds of interior burdens people carry with them throughout life. In fact, if we knew the inside story of most people’s lives, we would gain a deep reverence for them and a respect for their perseverance through the difficulties that only they have experienced and that only they know.

One such example that I have shared with the staff is of the famous German Renaissance artist, Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) and his younger brother Albert, whose inner burdens were hidden to all but a few during their lifetimes. It is a story of how one person’s suffering can transform another and even have an extraordinary effect on the world.

Albrecht and his brother Albert came from a middle class family of eighteen children. Both boys wanted to be artists, but their parents could not afford to send the pair of them to the academy (art school) as they desired. In fact, it was unlikely that they could even afford to send one of the boys to a school of that type.
One night the two brothers made a pact. They would toss a coin, and the loser of the coin toss would go to work in the coal mines near their home in order to support his brother during his years of study.

Four years after that, they would reverse roles: the brother who went to school would then be able to work and make money and would support the other brother as the latter studied and pursued his dreams of becoming an artist.

As providence would have it, Albrecht won the coin toss and spent four years in the academy learning and applying his trade. He proved to be something of a prodigy at drawing, painting, and woodcutting, even surpassing his teachers in artistic ability.

When four years passed and it came time to send Albrecht’s younger brother to school, poor Albert broke down sobbing. He showed his brother his working hands that had been damaged during the previous four years.

He told Albrecht that every bone in his hands had been broken at least once by the hard labor in the coal mines. His hands were rough, disfigured, and arthritic. It was now impossible for him to do the fine and delicate work of an artist.

It is said that Albrecht was so moved by his brother’s sacrifice that he asked Albert to pose in prayer for him. He then drew the famous ink and pencil sketch as a model for the world the sacrifice of hard work, and importance of showing gratitude.

I am so fond of this story. This image has personal connection to me. In 1997, I drew a pen and ink version for my sister who lost a child at birth. The image is a beacon in our family. 

Our hands tell a story. Look at your hands and see the gifts that you can hold, communicate, share, and design.  

The last few weeks of school will provide an opportunity to use our hands to demonstrate so many accomplishments. Embrace the moment. The hard work and sacrifice that you put in today will provide endless opportunities tomorrow. Make today a work of your hands.

Table placards will be available for students at the check-in. The Junior Executive Student Council is excited to put on this event for the students. Tickets go on sale on May 1, 2022.

The Final Push

Picture
Time. This is one thing that is always inevitable. Yet, this one thing can be experienced differently by each of us. It is hard to believe how quickly our time has passed. Every second inside of every minute can pass how we choose to use it. If we chose to stare at a clock, time would feel like forever. The more we are all actively involved with tasks, events, and enjoyment--the faster time is experienced by each of us. The old adage, "Time flies when you are having fun" rings a persistent tone this time of year. Why? Mostly due to the constant movement, experiences, events, and activities that happen inside of the time that we are given.  The last three months have been packed with events each week, and it feels like life is become more and more normal. Recently, I spoke to the senior class about all of the memories that they are making and how these moments should be cherished and remembered. These are great days for our class of 2022! 

Seniors:

After today, you have 20 class days and 36 calendar days before graduation. It can seem like a lifetime or can be a flash in front of you.  The choice is yours. Seniors, it seems like the finish line has already come and gone...but there is still essential time left. Time for yourself, time for each other, time for learning, and memories to be made. You only graduate high school once, Embrace it, live each moment, be active in your choices. The choices that you make today can determine the person that you become. Be true to who you are and keep your eyes on the goal--you are too close to let go of your dreams.

Juniors

Your 25 school days are going to be relentless. Focus on managing your time on what you can control. Your job is your academics. Your job is transitioning into the leaders of our school. Your job remains clear; YOU matter, YOUR grades matter; YOUR decisions matter. Learn from those that have gone before you and seize little opportunities that arise. We believe in you.

Sophomores

Your 25 school days linger with a reminder that you are about to transition into a challenging year. Many of you are learning the difference between dependence versus independence. The time is now to walk the talk. You are just coming out of your shell, and wondering what is up, down, and around you. You have seen so many challenging moments with relationships, coursework, and leadership but you are wondering if anyone notices you. We do, but we are not going to hold your hand through this--it is time to choose. We will always be there for you.

Freshman

Your 25 school days are determined by the habits that you have made. So many people have walked beside you, guided you, and assisted you. You recognize that you are a part of a bigger family but sometimes feel like the little sibling. You have an essential role. You are the key to the transition of our 8th graders. What you say---they believe. What you do---younger students follow. In reality, your task is enormous in living our core values not only for yourself but for your classmates. Believe in YOU!

8th Graders

Your 25 school days are so imperative to your maturation and growth.  SO many of you are ending this year with high school credit--and that is very exciting! At times, it has felt like you were the only ones in the building this year. Our staff have spent so much time and energy in guiding you and investing in you because you are essential part of our story. You made history this year by coming to the building; the time is NOW to be the leader that we prepared you for. Seize these days to look in the mirror and reflect on your growth along the way---all the while finishing your work and making those marks!

Staff

You are the conductor of the music that we hear each day. Sure, the sound may resonate well from a distance, but only you see what needs to be refined. Continue to coordinate the sound with the beauty that sets the tempo of our pulse as a whole. After most performances, the conductor bows while the orchestra receives the accolades. WE see your influence. WE appreciate your countless preparation. WE see your impact- especially after a long tour.

ICYMI-2022 Commencement Speaker, Dominic Ferrante

Picture
Photo credit: WKYC
On Wednesday, Dominic came back to his alma mater to meet the Executive President, and Executive Officers to talk about class of 2022. I had the opportunity to sit in that meeting to listen to all of the wonderful stories that the students had to share with Dominic. It was fascinating to see the paths that they crossed as collective Hilltoppers, and it was great for Dominic to see the continued growth of the educational outcomes of our students. 

For those that do not know--Dominic Ferrante has lived his entire life on the east side of Cleveland. After a short time in Mayfield, he moved out to Chardon and has lived there ever since. Dominic is most supported by his mother and father, two younger twin brothers and an older sister. Dominic's purpose and energy started to bloom during his years at Chardon High School. As a junior, Dominic  worked with Mr. Murray to realign our digital audience on the morning announcements. He was actively involved in AC4P, Student Council, Band, and numerous service activities. After attending Chardon High school and graduating in 2016, Dominic continued his education at Bowling Green State University.


While at BG, Dominic worked for the on-campus news station as an anchor and reporter. Dominic also worked at the local PBS station as a production assistant for a variety of different shoots. While working for PBS, Dominic’s favorite position was working floor camera for the BGSU men’s basketball games.
Dominic graduated from BGSU in 2020 with a B.S in Media and Communication and a minor in Journalism. While finishing his senior year at BG, Dominic started working as an intern with WKYC. He was ultimately hired on as a part-time photographer working the weekend morning shift, commuting back and forth from BG to Cleveland to work. 

After a short period working part-time, Dominic was hired full-time at WKYC as a photojournalist. While working as a photographer, Dominic has started to expand his career as a reporter. Dominic's talents as a photographer and editor have earned him three Emmy nominations. Dominic is a young entrepreneur who is innovative, a creative visionary, and always looking to recreate digital technology. 
In his free time Dominic loves spending time with his dogs and girlfriend, Morgan. If not there, Dominic can be found on the bike path or flying his drone.
​
Dominic is excited to come back to his alma mater to share is evolving 4E pathway with the graduates of 2022.  ​

Families of the Class of 2022: A Reflection from a parent's perspective on the next 4 weeks

It is hard to fathom how fast our time has come and gone this year. Where did our time go? Did I do enough, say enough, or even prepare you enough for this moment? I look at you and see me. I look at my own struggles, joys, and moments of excitement (when I was your age) and wonder how quickly our time has come and gone.

Do you I am your biggest fan? Do you know that I will always be there during good times and bad? Do you know how much my love is unconditional for you?

I am so proud of you, and I know that these 29 days are going to be tough for you. I know that you are spent, exhausted, and ready to move on...but, never forget how you got to this moment. Never forget the failures and success that refined you. Never forget the support that each of us provided for you and always will. 

So, in these last school days live every moment in the present. Love every celebration, and know that journey only begins when you cross the finish line. You are almost there! Hang on, push forward, dig deeper, and know that my embrace is a door away. We believe in you--BELIEVE IN YOUR ABILITY-- your journey is a moment away!

Have a beautiful weekend with family and friends!

​Douglas Murray, Principal

Being Optimistic

Picture
Rain, Rain, Go Away! It has been a long wait for spring, and it almost feels like the long and winding road of winter has never left. In spring sport news, we can share that even away games on turf fields cancel as the rain turned into storms. With the pockets of sunshine and the hope for a dry tomorrow, there is hope that we will play outside more consistently than we have been. We snuck a few outdoor events this week which was certainly better than our previous weeks. 

​More recently, we shared with our staff, families, and students about the volume of events and schedules that are upcoming.  It is daunting when you stare at the spreadsheet of dates and experiences. We each need to take it 
day by day and week by week.  

Keep in mind that today's stress is tomorrow's opportunity. Yes, there are so many things to check off the list, but at least we have a list. I am very appreciative of your patience as we continue to build each event and detail. 

The most important thing that we each can do is support each other, our students, our community, and demonstrate gratitude for the little things.

So, when you wake up in the morning and smile at the rising sun (every few days), pause to hear those song  birds singing sweet songs...and celebrate the moment.

The spring brings upon new growth and energy. Smile and seize the beauty in front of you.  Make today great and nurture each other!

Executive Student Council Application 2022-2023

The following information was shared with all students this week.

Attention Class of 2023: A Message from the Nurse

Dear parents and guardians, 

Please note that it is a requirement for students to be current on Ohio Department of Health immunizations in order to attend school. Students can be excluded if non-compliant with immunizations. Attached is a document which reflects when dosing is required for children. For the purposes of high school, a student must have a second dose of the meningococcal vaccine prior to entry into 12th grade. It is helpful to have these appointments scheduled over the summer so as to be compliant when school starts. If your child has not received the second meningococcal vaccine prior to the start of the 2022-2023 school year, an immunization exemption form must be completed after the 15th day of school is complete while waiting for completion of the vaccination series. 

Please feel free to call any of the district nurses with questions on the policy regarding immunizations. 

Best regards, 

Sarah Park BSN

Life in the Fast lane

Picture
Life in the Fast lane. 

This is probably the best phrase, song, and way to describe the past week. Many steps (literally) were walked this week as we observed classrooms, met with teachers, students, went to meetings,  and ran ELA testing. The weather certainly didn't cooperate as Mr. Snyder postponed or re-scheduled dozens of games. 

We also had important meetings with students to instill our PBIS focus on the core value of nurture. The year has been filled with so many examples of outreach both in and out of the building, but our work is never complete towards instilling the expected behaviors we desire in raising today's teenagers. It certainly take a village! There were many examples to remind us to take a moment to get out of the fast lane to  pause and be reminded of our purpose. 


Ferris Bueller,  in the classic film,  said it best- "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” There are so many moments that have passed by, and so many moments upcoming. With all of the moving parts that connect to the end the school year-- and with the countless decisions being made on a moments notice--pause, show gratitude, and celebrate the little things inside of each moment. Don't allow your life in the fast lane --make you lose your mind. 

You will notice in the Week in Reflection less community advertisements moving forward directly in newsletters to help streamline our building information. All principals will begin sending any notices to the district communications director. We appreciate the work that Kelly Misch has put in to organize a new page to organize all of these great opportunities. I will link it each week in my resource section.​

The Week in Reflection: 4/1

Welcome Back!

I see skies of blue, snow of white, flowers bloom, rain in the dark of night...and I think to myself, why do I live in Ohio. I am no song writer, but many of us start to lose our patience this time of year. The weather seems quite broken lately. With the transition into our third winter called Spring, we have so much going on.

We are literally going to fly through these last weeks so hold on. As I have shared over the last several weeks of communications, the upcoming long term schedule demonstrates the volume of tasks and events going on at CHS. As we march through the transition to this new season, we are longing for a stretch of dry and sunny days. 

With or without the unknown weather, this year has taught us the importance of patience and perseverance. Being patient creates opportunities for growth inside of us which will help us nurture our response to difficult moments. The next two months are going to pass us by in a blink of an eye. It is so important to pause and reflect on each opportunity in front of us. Likewise, demonstrating patience will expand our ability to persevere through moments in our lives that impact us at school, sports, our jobs, and even relationships. 

Spring Break Trips

Picture
The Baseball and Softball teams were overjoyed to begin their season in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina over the break. Both teams represented Chardon very well on and off the field! The fields were absolutely beautiful and the competition was strong. The relationships and memories built on the field, spending time with teammates, and bonding was extraordinary. The teams would like to thank all of the coaches who sacrificed their time, the families, countless hands, and our board of education for allowing this trip to occur. The teams are looking forward to seeing you in person this season!

The Hilltopper Marching Band had the honor of performing in Walt Disney World over Spring Break. To audition for this honor, the band had to submit three recent performance videos as well as photos of the group. The Hilltoppers did an outstanding job marching in the Magic Kingdom on Monday, March 21 at the 6:00 PM parade. The parade was 1 mile long and approximately 1,000 people from all over the world were in attendance. Other highlights of the trip included a stop at Buc-ees, morning swimming  at the hotel, and time spent in each of the Disney parks. Thanks to the BOE and CHS administration for approving this trip! A huge thank you also to our wonderful chaperones: Lorrie Beil, Gloria Kortitansky, Michelle Watson, Todd Watson, Jennifer Squires, Barb Breznay, Christine Clark, Cindy Nells, and Bill Nells.

The Week in Reflection: 3/18

Spring is Here this Weekend

Picture
The beauty of Spring is on the horizon. The birds are beginning to chirp, blossoms are seeking the warmth of the sun, and the weather is dawning into a new season. Welcome to the beauty of this short season in Northeast Ohio. Embrace this time, brace for the Spring showers for the  April and  May flowers will bloom shortly.

Living in this region, we become accustomed to the highs and lows of the weather, but there is one weather pattern we can control...our personal weather. 

Every day, we walk our routines with our words, deeds, and behaviors. We, in turn, carry our own weather. Although he retired last year, Mr. Armelli always is a perfect example of this mantra. He stood outside in the rain, snow, and sun exclaiming to ALL: It's a beautiful day!

Now, more than ever--carrying our own feelings about our autonomy, our place in this world, and connectivity to others need to rise to the surface of those things that we can control.  

We are finally in Spring! We are finally at Spring Break. Personally, I am exhausted and looking forward to a refresh. Take time to re-energize and focus on the long and winding road that we will face as we close out the season and press on to a rest of quarter.

National Honors Society Induction Ceremony (2022-2023)

Picture
The Four Pillars of National Honor Society

Scholarship is characterized by a commitment to learning. A student is willing to spend the necessary time to cultivate his/ her mind in the quest for knowledge. This pillar can only be achieved through diligence and effort. Scholarship means always doing the best work possible, regardless of impending reward. 

Service: The pillar of service can be reached in a variety of ways. The willingness to work for the benefit of those in need without compensation or recognition of any kind is a quality that is essential in NHS members. As a service club, the National Honor Society is highly concerned with giving its all to the school and community at large. 

Leadership: Leaders take the initiative to aid others in a wholesome manner throughout their daily activities. Leaders sacrifice their personal interests in order to yield to the needs of others. Leaders need wisdom and self-confidence to affect change in all aspects of their lives. Some examples of leadership can include, but are not limited to, leading group activities in the classroom and in the community, being an officer in a club, being a primary member of the band or choir, or being the captain of a sports team. 
​

Character: Character is what distinguishes one individual from another. It is the product of constant striving to make the right choices day after day. Students with good character demonstrate respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness, caring, and citizenship in all of their actions.

Alumni News: John Ricci wins the National Championship

Picture
March 11, 2022

TO: Lakeland Foundation Board, Alumni, and Friends

FROM: Greg Sanders

Happy Friday! I’ve got some breaking news for you today that’s hot off the presses....

You may recall from past Updates that I’ve talked about Lakeland’s nationally recognized Industrial Welding program. Our program produces some of the top student welders in the country as ranked by SkillsUSA - a partnership of students, teachers, and industry that serves more than 360,000 members annually in areas of applied skills such as health sciences, culinary arts, construction and manufacturing, STEM and IT, human services, public safety, communications, leadership, and hospitality/tourism.

For the past week, Lakeland welding student John Ricci has been in Huntsville, Alabama with program coordinator Ryan Eubank for the third and final round of the SkillsUSA Welding competition. John was invited last fall to compete in the finals and has been working with Ryan 10 hours a day, four to five days a week since then in preparation. A couple of days ago, the competition was down to just John and three other welders from across the U.S.

Last night, we were notified that John has won the national championship and is now invited to represent the United States in the WorldSkills Welding competition in Shanghai, China in October. We are so thrilled for John, for Ryan and his program, and for Lakeland for this outstanding achievement. How proud we are to be the home of our national champion, and to have had the opportunity to support John’s hard work toward this incredible accomplishment. John, congratulations!

If you’re not already aware of the excellent opportunities offered by Lakeland’s welding program, you should know that the college offers an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree in Welding and Fabrication Technology, which is designed to prepare students for immediate employment in the manufacturing, construction, and energy industries as well as in the public sector. The range and depth of program courses prepare students to be job ready for employment in positions including fabrication, welding, soldering, and brazing, as well as in sales, inspection, repair, supervision and management. 
​

What a day to celebrate!
