Entrepreneur Success Breakfast
On Oct. 18, Chardon High School students in Allen Herner’s College Credit Plus Introduction to Business classes attended the Geauga Growth Partnership Entrepreneur Success Breakfast at Patterson Family Fruit Farm. While enjoying doughnuts and cider with area business owners and state and county leaders, students heard from fifth and sixth generation farm and business owners. The Pattersons shared their human resources practices, innovations over the years and future plans for the business.
“This was a valuable real world experience for these business students,” said Herner. “And the honey crisp apples they went home with were delicious.”
Annual Trip to Century Village
On Oct. 17, Park Elementary School’s second-grade students visited Century Village Museum in Burton to learn about life in the 1800s. The annual visit was filled with prop-supplemented stories of butter churning, dunce hat wearing, daily creek water journeys and much more.
“The students were shocked to hear kids had to drink creek water in the past,” said Park teacher Donna Picone. “One student said the olden days were hard, school six days a week! It was a great trip to Century Village. Thank you to the Chardon Board of Education.”
Notre Dame Cathedral Recreated
Munson Elementary School third-grade students recently spent time learning about Notre Dame Cathedral during art class with teacher Beth Stickley.
As part of this curricular unit, students created colorful replications of the historic cathedral on paper by using liquid watercolors similar to food coloring and black glue. The use of color is intended to illustrate the cathedral at night when it is lit with different colored lights. The students’ artistic objectives included the incorporation of symmetry/asymmetry, visual balance and details.
“We also discussed the April 2019 fire and viewed photos of before and after,” said Stickley. “The kids were very interested in how the fire started and if/when the damage will be repaired. We learned that much of the sculptures on the roof and other artwork were spared from the fire because France had already removed some items for the previously planned 20-year-long renovation that was underway.”
