Academic Decathlon
The CHS Academic Decathlon team traveled to Riverside in early February to complete the final two disciplines of the Ohio Regional Competition.
This year’s theme, “Our Changing Climate,” was the focus of proctored online tests in literature, science, music, art, mathematics, economics and social sciences, along with a timed essay. The remaining events included a judged speech competition featuring both prepared and impromptu speeches, as well as a college-style interview.
The day concluded with Super Quiz, a game show-style school versus school competition, followed by an awards ceremony. CHS earned 32 medals, including 12 golds, winning in all 10 events. Every team member took home at least one medal.
Students who represented CHS at the event included: Connor Mosher, Caroline Bates, Kayla Schneider, Sydney Scheid, Courtney Lawrence, Maddy Cresho, Gus Schneider, Jack Bennett, Danny Greene, Brandon French, Ivan Medved and Holden Dewey.
Next up is the state competition to be held at John Carroll University on March 7 and 8.
Students Spread Kindness
On Feb. 13, students in Miss Kelly Fisher’s second-grade class at Park Elementary School celebrated Kindness Week and Valentine’s Day by writing sweet notes on hearts for each of their classmates. Every heart had a student’s name and was filled with kind words from their peers.
“Watching their faces light up as they read each message was a beautiful reminder of how small acts of kindness can make a big difference,” Miss Fisher said.
