PARK PENCIL POINT NEWSLETTER
January 4, 2024
The mission of the Chardon Local Schools is we commit to high achievement for all students.
Happy New Year 2024 and Welcome Back!
Happy New Year Hilltopper Families!
I hope that each of you had a wonderful holiday season, filled with joy, laughter and quality time spent with loved ones. I am excited to extend a warm welcome back to our students and staff. I loved seeing our kiddos return to school today with smiles on their faces that lit up the hallways, eager to share stories about their winter break adventures.
As we step into 2024, I am thankful for the incredible community we have here at Park Elementary. The start of a new year is a time for reflection, growth and setting new goals. It is also another opportunity to express my appreciation for the dedicated students, supportive parents and talented staff that make Park such a special place.
As we embark on the second half of the school year, I am excited about the endless possibilities for learning that the coming months hold for our students and our school community. The remainder of the school year holds countless opportunities for our students to discover their unique strengths, build resilience, persevere and celebrate achievements both big and small. Thank you for your continued support and commitment as a partner in your child’s educational journey.
Here's to a fantastic new year filled with learning, laughter and memorable moments!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Makee

Fun before break!
Members of our Park Staff, Mrs. Gualdoni, Mrs. Seese, Ms. Adams and Mrs. Makee, along with Chardon High School Senior, Addison Seese, worked over the holiday break to install the Sensory Pathway in the lower level of the building. The Park PTO generously purchased the pathway last year, but due to the tunnel project over the summer, it was unable to be installed. Sensory pathways can be used to support children with sensory processing issues or to help children to develop motor skills, balance, hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness. Because of the commitment of these ladies, our students were surprised by this engaging hallway addition when they returned from break. It’s sure to bring endless hours of activity to our students!
How fitting that Mrs. Gualdoni put the "finishing" touch on our sensory pad, as she is "finishing" her final year before retirement.
Stay Safe. Speak UP!
