CREW Celebrates Milestones
Congratulations to Chardon High School CREW senior Carson Beard and freshman Jack Foradis on career-learning milestones they each achieved earlier this month. The students were celebrated by photo opportunities with CREW staff and students at the high school on Feb. 7.
Through his CREW Practical Work Experience course, Carson has secured a student internship with Jade Products, Inc. of Mentor, a family-owned business specializing in machining, fabrication and welding. Carson is working on-site at Jade and acquiring real-world job experience under the supervision of Jade manufacturing engineer Joe Erickson. The course is an independent study offering wherein students have opportunities to gain exposure and experience in a career field of their choice through job shadowing, on-the-job study and individual work experience.
CREW student Jack Foradis also had reason to celebrate this month, earning his 10-hour OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) safety card via the CREW Foundations course. CREW Foundations explores a closer look at identifying potential career opportunities. Among other course content, the class guides students in developing a solid foundation of employability skills, including safety, ethics, readiness, customer service, communication, teamwork and problem-solving.
Buckeye State Delegates
Chardon High School juniors Julia Ellington, Rebecca Fullerman, Lia Gutierrez, Jen Kogovsek, Grace Romanoff, Joseph Grano and Madison Primc (alternate) have been named Buckeye State Program 2023 delegates. The students will travel to Bowling Green State University (girls) and Miami University – Oxford (boys) June 11-17 to collaborate with incoming seniors from other Ohio schools.
Delegates will learn about duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of good citizenship, ultimately conducting a state and local government simulation.
Each year, faculty nominate juniors for this prestigious opportunity based on students’ interest in government and current events; demonstration of high moral character and strong leadership skills; above-average scholastic standing; and thirst for knowledge. The nominees are then interviewed as the final step to determine acceptance into the program.
Special thank you to Chardon American Legion Post 167 for its unwavering generosity in sponsoring our students each year, a long-standing history of Buckeye State Program sponsorship that allows Chardon students to attend the program at no cost to their families.
Rescue Village Visit
The Chardon Middle School Builders Club ventured on an after-school field trip to Rescue Village in Russell Township on Feb. 15, touring the facility and learning all about the organization and its impact on the community. The club is advised by CMS faculty member Amanda Weaver.
Following a guided tour by RV staff and volunteers, club members had the opportunity to complete on-site service projects, including interacting and playing with the cats, dogs and horses, making fleece tie blankets filling toys with treats and more.
