Learning About Watersheds
Gail Prunty, an educator with the Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District, was recently at Chardon Middle School sharing with students the importance of protecting watersheds, which are simply the land that water flows across or under on its way to a stream, river or lake. They are an integral part to the survival of wildlife and environment. She explained Geauga County is home to the Chagrin River, Cuyahoga River, Grand River and Mahoning River basins. Almost all of Geauga County is part of the Lake Erie Watershed.
Mrs. Prunty was presenting to members of the Arthur Holden Leadership Institute (AHLI). AHLI students participate in a three-year program dealing with leadership and character development through the exploration of math and science and environmental issues.
Safety Officers Enjoy Lunch
The week of Nov. 12-16 Chardon Schools Food Service Department invited area safety officers and first responders to stop by for breakfast or lunch at any of the school cafeterias. It was the school district’s way of saying “thank you” for all they do everyday.
Thank you to the law enforcement officers who visited the school campuses. Chardon appreciates them making time to build important relationships with district students.
Caught Being Kind
Chardon Middle School is recognizing students this month who are making an extra effort to spread kindness to their fellow classmates. A special shout out to Pizza Roto for supporting Chardon’s Be Kind initiative by providing coupons for free pizza.
Owl Pellet Dissection
Fifth-graders at Chardon Middle School have dissecting owl pellets in their science classes. By studying undigested bones and teeth, students explored food chains, prey and predator relationships and more. Thank you to the Chardon Schools Foundation for funding the exciting, hands-on learning experience.
