8/25/2023 The Week in Reflection: 8/25A Week of Capturing Memories
The beginning of the school year is always filled with activities such as orientations, class meetings, navigating new routes, classes...all to set up the new normal. Can you believe that we are concluding week two already!? There are so many amazing things that our staff and students were accomplishing this week towards the mission of our school district committing to high achievement for all students.
If you are unaware of this blog called the Week in Reflection, the purpose of this communication is to share with everyone all the work happening at CHS each week from a principal's perspective. This newsletter is a very therapeutic (and time-consuming) reflection of all the things that I see each week.
You will see photographs, short reflections, opportunities, and event information. I am not an author. I am just a simple man that loves what I do...I love kids and want to help each child find their purpose. In this Week in Reflection, you will read and see so many wonderful opportunities and experiences that show the engagement of our students and staff within our mission. The week was filled with teachers and students expanding their knowledge as they began to dig deeper into the standards in each course. It was a warm week, but certainly beautiful. Take a few moments to peruse all of the great things happening at CHS. The Schedule For Next Week

You #TopperUp'd This Week!
Mrs. Kelly Misch had an awesome entry for this week. She writes:
"Though not surprisingly at all, Student Liaisons to the BOE — Jen Kogovsek and Madison Primc — made Chardon very proud last night! We were IMPRESSED. Professional, well-prepared, and a well-designed/executed first presentation. It was clear they cared and took time with their assignment.
Certainly exemplifying many "C's" of our Portrait of a Hilltopper."
