The Chardon Schools Foundation has received a $15,000 donation from Preston Chevrolet and The Chevy Network as part of a 10-year commitment to support the foundation’s mission: Excellence in Education.
“Support from our community is vital and the continued investment Preston and Chevy make in the foundation provides the capability to fund a variety of needs in Chardon Schools,” according to a December press release.
An example of the programs funded is Chardon High School’s STEM program.
“The Chardon Schools Foundation grant is an exciting catalyst for innovation, powering the creation of dragsters and a new dragster track that fuel our STEM curriculum,” said Amber Yeager in the release. “This hands-on experience teaches students the principles of engineering, physics and teamwork, as they design, build and race their own dragsters. Beyond the thrill of the track, they learn the critical skills of problem-solving, data analysis, and creativity, preparing them for a future of limitless possibilities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.”
Chardon Schools Superintendent Dr. Michael J. Hanlon Jr. said, “The Chardon Local School District is fortunate to have community-minded partners like Preston Superstore. Their ongoing commitment to support the Chardon Schools Foundation with a significant financial contribution enables the organization to support innovative programs in our classrooms that contribute meaningfully to the exceptional educational program offered to our students. The district is appreciative of this continued support.”
Chardon School Foundation Program Grants throughout the years have ranged from Artists in Residence to Chromebooks, support for the CHS Academic Decathlon Team, counseling resource bags, music instruments, structured reading books, technology upgrades and many other worthwhile ideas presented to CSF by Chardon teachers, the release stated.
Donations to the Chardon Schools Foundation may be sent to P.O. Box 838, Chardon, OH 44024 or online at chardonschoolsfoundation.org.
