3/24/2023 0 Comments The Week in Reflection: 3/24Spring Break is Here
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 retired, 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 physically and mentally 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

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. Members
During the NHS ceremony, I took a moment to recognize Vincent Schmidt who completed his first solo flight as a pilot prior to the NHS ceremony. Vincent will be soaring to new heights after graduation!
The Schedule for the Next (2) Weeks
PBIS Behavior Expectations
In an effort to promote the types of behaviors we would like to see in our school, during Topper Times, Freshman Mentoring, and Circuit periods over the past two weeks, students were engaged in lessons regarding the CHS Behavior Expectations. The expectations were created through the collaboration of the CHS PBIS team, staff, and students this school year. Below are the expectations as they align with our CHS Core Values, design courtesy of CHS students Cassie Bright, Jordan Cvelbar, Estefany Vazquez, Sadie Kuhnle, William Brooker, and Teagan Koehler: Special thanks to Ms. Mary Pat Pavicic and the entire PBIS team for their exceptional work this year.

ACADEC Clinches 28 STATE Medals
(Kelly Misch- Contributor)
March 17, 2023 -- Chardon High School’s Academic Decathlon team impressed at the State tournament held at John Carroll University March 10-11, in all hauling 28 well-earned medals back to Hilltopper town. The 20-member team likewise shined in virtual regional contests earlier this year, garnering 26 regional medals, including 10 gold. Chardon ACADEC operates under the dedicated leadership of Coach Allen Herner — advisor to the team since the 2010-11 school year, leading the team each and every year to State-level competition beginning with his first season aboard. In Hilltopper tag-teaming spirit, CHS science teacher Dr. Rebecca Schneider was at the helm for the team’s 2023 State tournament journey. Coach Herner stated, “Dr. Schneider took on a substantial workload in getting our students to the State competition and advocating for them while there. I can’t imagine the event being such a success for our students without her.” The Chardon Board of Education will recognize the Chardon Academic Decathlon team for its 2023 accomplishments during the student recognition segment of the March 20 regular board meeting scheduled for 6:30p.m. at 428 North Street (44024). The segment is towards the start of the meeting. Congratulations ACADEC! Rotary Speech Contest |
