Learn from Leaders Program
Chardon High School’s college credit plus business classes attended Lakeland Community College’s Learn from Leaders program on Nov. 13.
CHS students in CCP Introduction to Business, CCP Business Ethics and CCP Introduction to Entrepreneurship, participated in the program as part of the Lakeland Business Management Department’s Entrepreneurship Week.
The students heard from local entrepreneur Lindsay Defeo, the owner and director of operations of Leolo Hospitality in Mentor.
Connie Golden, who chairs the business management department at Lakeland, noted that the CHS students “asked some great questions.”
Jeremy’s Kids Seeking Donations
Chardon High School has launched the Jeremy’s Kids 2024 holiday fundraiser. Funds collected will be used to purchase holiday gifts for local families in need.
Jeremy’s Kids was established in 2001 in memory of Jeremy Mizen, son of Chardon High School science teacher Rob Mizen and his wife Dee Mizen. Jeremy tragically passed away in 1999 at the age of 6 after suffering head trauma from a car accident en route to a Christmas Eve church service.
Among the CHS students who gain service experience through this yearly endeavor are the high school’s service classes, as well as Interact Club, National Honor Society and Actively Caring for People Club.
In over 20 years of giving back to the community, the fundraiser has raised over $130,000.
Community members interested in supporting the Jeremy’s Kids annual holiday fundraiser can visit this year’s GoFundMe: gofund.me/6f07f1d9.
