The Week in Reflection: 2/28

Blended Learning Day

Today I did a service called Meals on Wheels. This service is where you take time out of your day to deliver a meal to people who need it the most. This shows of community coming together as a whole to help one another. I also had to show respect to the people I delivered the meal to. I nurtured everyone with care by handing them their meals and starting a conversation with them."

- Mackenna , 8th  grade

This week epitomized what it means to be a Hilltopper with #OneHeartbeat. Our students and staff were highly engaged deep into the 3rd quarter with learning targeted outcomes. I had the opportunity to observe several classes where students took ownership of their learning. We are so grateful to our teachers who have worked with intentionality in their PLC's and district goals to continue living our mission.

We also saw hundreds of students serving their community as we celebrate our annual Core Values Day at CHS. Students in grades 8, 9, 10, and 12 identified areas in their lives that they wanted to serve. We had so many phenomenal entries to the Google form stating all of the acts of service to families, our community, and our specific values. In the images above, you can see the most populated words that the students articulated regarding how they used their Blended Learning Day. Mr. Bandiera, Mr. Higham, and I were deeply moved by the  students' intentional acts of kindness.
​
In the spirit of achievement, our 11th grade students took time out of their day to focus on the ACT. As we monitored the test from the office it was clear to us that the students took the time to work diligently on this important academic opportunity. We are so proud of the juniors. Likewise, we are grateful to our staff who proctored all of the rooms.

Wednesday, our community concluded the second Visioning Session with Then Design Architects to talk about the strengths and barriers in our district, the continuous change in educational learning environments, and work collaboratively to envision what could be in our district. It was truly an amazing day to network with students, and community members. Late into Wednesday evening and early into Thursday morning, the lake effect machine kicked up causing our district to close due to the weather. 

As I wrote in the special edition of Week in Reflection, the day away from school provided us the opportunity to reflect as a community to focus on each other and to be humbled by the continued support from our community. We are so blessed to live in Chardon. I will be honest, it was different not being on school. Yet, it might have been a blessing in disguise to assist all our students and staff with pushing pause to the jammed packed month we just lived. 

Thank you for all of your continued support!
