Spring is in the Air
Think Spring. Think Spring. Think Spring
I was taught to think positively and say a mantra of good thoughts. With the dark days of winter literally in the rearview mirror, and the beauty of the sun and longer days---you have to stop and remind yourself of a couple things: (1) We literally just melted an iceberg of snow in a few days (2) Spring is literally two weeks away! I wore green in celebration of the weather this week. Just as February is a month of gratitude, March is a month of wellness. We have to take the time to take care of ourselves and get back into routines that help our mind, body, and spirit. The fresh air and sunlight help each of us get out of the winter lull, and can help spring back a feeling of joy, gladness, and growth. This year has been trying on all of us, and as we roll into March, the time we have this month is going to quickly pass us by if we don't stop and see the things around us blossom: nature, relationships, and our own personal growth. There are many benchmarks that happen in March: Winter Sports Tournaments: Our kids are able to finish what they started! Spring Sports: We are in week two already! ACT Day: March 16, 2021 March 26: Official End of the 3rd Quarter March 29- April 5: Spring Break March will come and go without notice. It is so important to seize every moment in front of us as we close out another quarter and transition to the 4th quarter. I really appreciate your continued patience with us. In a typical year, we are able to write a game plan and publish it in August. This year, almost everything we planned for school was adjusted countless times due to the coronavirus. We are not out of the clear, but we are making amazing progress. We are working on many things as new guidelines and recommendations transpire such as writing proposals and plans for approval for senior events. We will publish these details upon approval from the health department. This edition of the Week in Reflection provides a highlight of the week and upcoming events.

Senior Tributes
The 2020-2021 yearbook staff is once again offering parents of seniors the opportunity to express congratulations to their graduate by purchasing an advertisement in the 2021 edition of the yearbook. This has become a very popular tradition in the yearbook. Over the years, the support of parents like you helps us to keep the price of the yearbook constant despite the demand to meet rising production costs.
Enclosed here you will find a form indicating the size options of congratulatory advertisements that are available. Start searching for your son’s or daughter’s most memorable baby pictures to preserve in the yearbook forever. You can put a poem, a message, and/or photos (old or new) in your salute. All you have to do is submit the information you would like included. Then we take care of the rest and design the advertisement for you. If you are interested, fill out the next page of this order form and return it to the main office at the high school with your check payable to Chardon Board of Education. Please submit your order no later than Friday, March 19th, 2021 so that we can meet our printing deadlines. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the yearbook adviser, Daniel, at daniel.chenoweth@chardonschools.org Thank you in advance for your support. Sincerely, Daniel Chenoweth CHS Yearbook Staff Topper Bistro
