HAPPY FRIDAY. 3rd quarter report cards have been posted to Infinite Campus. The report card link can be located on the left-hand side under the "reports" section. Please review your child's progress with him or her and help them set attainable goals to maintain or improve their academic performance.

Students in grades 4-6 will begin scheduling for the 2023-24 school year starting next week. Our School Counselors will be scheduling students during advisory. If your student is in the 5th grade, start talking to them about picking BAND or CHOIR next year. A scheduling-specific email will be sent home on Monday after the school day.

Enjoy your weekend. 5 school days until SPRING BREAK.

You are invited to participate in this year’s JUST RUN LAKE COUNTY youth fitness program! JUST RUN was designed to combat obesity and to promote physical activity in our youth. The program focuses on nutrition, exercise, and making healthy lifestyle choices.

The primary features of the JUST RUN program include:

● JUST RUN – Students will meet for practice twice a week. Practices will include warm-ups and activities followed by walking/running.

● JUST RACE – Just Run Lake County 5K goal race will be Saturday, May 27th at Fairport Harbor. Students will train and be encouraged to participate.

● JUST RUN WITH YOUR PARENTS – Students are encouraged to walk/run/hike or bike with their parents on the weekends in order to promote family fitness.

JUST RUN is open to children of all ages. Some ages may require parent participation in the program. You must provide your own transportation for your child.

We will practice every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00p.m to 4:00 pm

We will meet in the LGIR and walk together to Chardon High School and run a loop

nearby.

We will combine running, stretching, drills, games, and discussions about healthy

lifestyles.

In the event of inclement weather, we will practice indoors but most of the time we will

practice rain or shine!

You will need to pick your child up from practice by 4:15 pm. Please do not be late to

pick up your child.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, Suzanne Stewart at suzanne.stewart@chardonschools.org

LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING YOUR FAMILY INVOLVED!

WE WILL BEGIN PRACTICE ON Tuesday, April 4th. There will be no practice on

Thursday, April 6th but every other Tuesday and Thursday we will have practice

until May 23, 2023. The race is on Saturday, May 27th.

Rolls of paper towels are an important resource for Rescue Village as they care for animals in need. In 2021, 315 rolls of paper towels were collected here at CMS and last year we only collected 168 rolls. Builder’s Club has set a goal of collecting 250 paper towels this year!
