4/28/2023 0 Comments The Week in Reflection: 4/28The Work of our Hands  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. Our hands tell a story. Our hands are more than just functional tools that help us perform daily tasks; they are a physical manifestation of our experiences, our journeys, and our stories. Every wrinkle, scar, and callus on our hands tells a tale of hard work, perseverance, and resilience. From the delicate hands of an artist to the rough, weathered hands of a farmer or mechanic, our hands reveal the unique paths we have taken in life, and the challenges we have overcome along the way. The last few weeks of school will provide an opportunity to use our hands to demonstrate so many accomplishments. The hands of hard work will determine the outcomes that we desire. Embrace these moments, even through the discomfort. The hard work and sacrifice that you put in today will provide endless opportunities tomorrow. Make today a work of your hands. The Schedule For Next Week: (Special Schedule for Testing)    Chardon High School began to administer the end-of-course assessments to measure the academic progress of students. We will be having a unique schedule to accommodate for these tests as noted above. Please take the time to review the schedule. The teachers and students have prepared for these tests throughout the standards, lesson, assessments, and state benchmarks this year. These state achievement tests tell us how well our students are growing in the knowledge and skills outlined in Ohio’s Learning Standards. These tests help guide and strengthen future teaching so we can be sure that we are preparing our students for long-term success in school, college, careers and life. I was able to go into every single course that is testing this week to remind the students of the things that we can control: Our attitude, effort, and approach to these tests. I was so impressed with their attention and left feeling great about the work our students and teachers put in to getting the students to this point. We have great students! Transportation will run at regular times throughout testing. All Auburn Students will take their tests during the time we have scheduled at Chardon High School. All grade levels not testing will have a late start; Seniors must complete their capstone projects. Please watch the video below for additional details. Which tests will be given for what grade level? (See the schedule online) Science … Grade 8 and Biology

Over 3 exciting days, 47 Spanish language students, parents, and teachers explored the amazing sites and sounds of ¨La Manzana Grande¨(The Big Apple¨). ¨The Spanish NYC trip was a highlight of my high school years and something I'll always remember. In just three days, we toured the Statue of LIberty, had an amazing view atop the Freedom Tower, took the Roosevelt Island cable car up into the sky and through the skyscrapers, laughed while learning Spanish dances, put our Spanish knowledge to use while exploring Spanish Harlem with a native tour guide, experienced Times Square, and much more! I loved traveling with all grades from CHS and talking with students I've never met before. Thank you Senora Niedzwiecki, Senora Tekavec, Madame, and the many chaperones for taking us on this trip and giving CHS students this opportunity.¨ - Julianne Sweet, CHS Senior & Spanish 5 student

4/21/2023 0 Comments The Week in Reflection 4/21The Final Push
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 days turn into weeks this time of the year. It is hard to stop the clock, but we must embrace the moments of the time we are given. Our time is too precious and short to let these pass by with our children. I have learned from many adult "sages" about our time with our children. Many of them remind me and our parents that these moments are like gold. We need to cherish the deposits we have before they pass by. Most 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 2023! To think that the seniors just picked up their cap and gown is a beautiful and scary sight! Cherish these days!
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 along with a graduation seal through the Circuit of Success--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. Your story is just beginning and 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. YOU ARE APPRECIATED! The Schedule For Next Week (Regular)
End of Course Assessments
Chardon High School began to administer the end-of-course assessments this week to measure the academic progress of students. Earlier in the week, the administration went into each ELA 8 and ELA II course to add another layer of motivation for our students. The teacher and students have prepared for these tests throughout the standards, lesson, assessments, and state benchmarks this year.
These state achievement tests tell us how well our students are growing in the knowledge and skills outlined in Ohio’s Learning Standards. These tests help guide and strengthen future teaching so we can be sure that we are preparing our students for long-term success in school, college, careers and life. Transportation will run at regular times throughout testing. All Auburn Students will take their tests during the time we have scheduled at Chardon High School.

A large group of seniors (with team leads- Anna Landies and Sidney Nagaj) are putting together their capstone project for a good cause. Consider coming to Chardon Memorial Stadium on May 7th at 5:00pm to watch some of the most athletic players in our school battle for the notoriety and bragging rights of Queens of the Gridiron. Admission to the game is a canned good item.

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 last days of high school 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!

The fourth quarter of school always seems to pass by in the blink of an eye. After a long and often challenging academic year, students and teachers alike look forward to the final stretch before summer break. Even with the change in weather we have to be laser focused on the finish line. The next several weeks are the "master's tournament" of education. It is the time that we refine our approach, focus on every moment, and seize opportunities to demonstrate mastery.
I always say that as soon as the fourth quarter begins, time seems to accelerate, and before we know it, graduation day will arrive. Life in the Fastlane is both exhilarating and stressful, as students try to balance the demands of finishing the school year strong and balancing the demands of work, athletics, and making memories. As educators, we do this every year. As students, the time to experience these days are short. Take a moment to look around and embrace these days. Celebrate little victories, and make lasting memories!
It was a picture perfect week outside and it allowed us to not only accomplish many victories on the court, track, turf, and field---we accomplished a ton during this short week including meeting with our seniors for a class meeting, classroom observations, staff meetings, planning for the master schedule, and covering many evening events. It was certainly a beautiful week to be a Hilltopper. Since this was a short week, there are many reoccurring themes this week with several key details that are new to plan for. The next couple editions will be filled with details. Make sure to refer to them often as we close out the year.

As we are in full swing of Senior Capstone season, I will be sharing opportunities for our Chardon Community to participate in ways to give back to our community. The enclosed senior capstone project has been in the works for the last few months. Sarah Sutton is a senior who participates in many school activities. One of her passions is softball. At the end of the month, Sarah has a project that includes collecting used softball equipment that will benefit kids in need of equipment in our community and beyond. Consider joining her cause and take a swing at this awesome cause.
Closing Message: Finishing what we started
The graphic above reminds us that it is not enough to begin a task, project, course, game or event in our lives with enthusiasm and energy, but to maintain that momentum until the very end. As students/ staff / or parents-- it is essential to seize every opportunity that comes our way and give our best effort to achieve our goals...even we are feeling overwhelmed. We have all prepared for these moments and our practice has prepared us. This discomfort refines us and makes us the person we choose to become.
At times, we may feel overwhelmed or discouraged by the obstacles we face along the way on any given day. However, it is crucial to remember that perseverance and determination are key to finishing strong. It is during the final stretch that our efforts matter the most and can make a significant difference in our outcomes. We must remain focused, stay motivated, and keep pushing forward towards our goals even through this discomfort. Whether it is completing a project, preparing for exams, or finishing the race, we must give our best effort (knowing that we have prepared for these moments) until the very end. It is not enough to start fast and then lose momentum. It is just as important (and everyone remembers) how we finish. Choose your response to this adversity and finish strong in order to achieve the success we worked so hard for. As we push through this quarter, let us remember the importance of seizing every opportunity and giving our best effort until the very end. We have the potential to achieve great things, and with perseverance and determination, we can finish strong and accomplish our goals. Stay motivated, stay focused, and finish this academic/ athletic year with a sense of purpose and achievement--Together.
Have a beautiful weekend with family and friends!
Douglas Murray, Principal 4/7/2023 0 Comments The Week in Reflection: 4/7
Welcome Back!
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
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!

NYC Trip: A Reflection by Mr. Streiff
On Thursday, March 23rd through Sunday, March 26th, the Chardon High School Choir Department traveled to New York City. It was a wonderful time with lots of music making, sights, memories, and friendships. We had a busy few days in the city.
Students saw Broadway shows Wicked, Hadestown, and Six. We toured Radio City Music Hall. We participated in two workshops. One with a renowned choral conductor from NYC and one learning song and dance with original cast members from the show Six. We heard the St. Thomas Boys Choir in the St. Thomas Cathedral. The group went on a boat ride of the harbor and visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We had a Q&A time with 5 CHS Alumni that live in NYC. We were joined by Rebecca Moser, Jill Allenby, Ian Taylor, Natalie Clark, and Stephen Blaugh. They shared with the students about living and working in NYC. They range in careers from design engineering, finance, advertising, musical theater, and IT. Thank you to everyone that participated in this special adventure. It was a pleasure traveling with you!
