CHS Families and Students,

This past week, CHS had the pleasure of hosting the Chardon Chamber of Commerce luncheon. This annual event allows Chardon Local Schools to showcase the various clubs, activities, events, and courses our students engage in. This year, the high school focused on highlighting service learning projects and clubs.

In attendance were representatives from Lax Abled, Tackle Project, National Honor Society, Student Council, AC4P, Great Pals, and Minds Matter. I was incredibly impressed with the professionalism of our students and their enthusiasm as they detailed the goals and accomplishments of their projects and clubs.

ROTARY CLUB STUDENT OF THE MONTH

Congratulations to Mia Goodwin, who was nominated by Mr. Tomco for the Chardon Rotary Club Student of the Month. This prestigious award recognizes students who exemplify a strong commitment to service and leadership in their community. Mia’s dedication and positive impact make her a deserving recipient of this honor.

Welcome Back to a new school year from Chardon Health Services. Our health services department strives to meet the medical needs of your students on a daily basis, whether a minor injury or coordinating care for your student with complex health needs. We would like to give you a few reminders for the new school year and as well reference forms that you may need throughout the year.

The Chardon High School football players are collecting money to purchase cookie kits to be delivered to the families living at the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital. In collaboration with D is For Delicious, our players will be making the cookies, assembling the boxes and delivering them downtown to the children and their families on October 3rd. This “Let’s Make Cookies” Passion Project gives the children and their families a fun activity to do together while in the hospital receiving treatments. “Cookies are therapy!” -Denise Hagan, owner of D is For Delicious.

Below is the website and QR code if you, your family or friends are in a position to help us out. Simply scan the QR code to go directly to the website to order a cookie kit. It will say: Cookie Decorating Kit- prepared by Chardon's TACKLE Project- benefiting Children at the Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital. Last year, we made over 150 boxes. This year, we hope to beat that! Last day to donate is Friday, September 20, 2024.

Every donation goes directly to D is For Delicious to buy supplies. Each cookie kit is $28. Please join us as we “TACKLE” this project together. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

~Sincerely, The CHS Football Players~
