SPRING BREAK is FINALLY HERE. There was no time to think about spring break plans this week! The students and staff were very busy with Reading MAP testing and the practice Ohio State Test writing assessment. Overall, I was VERY impressed with the effort during testing. Several students paid me a visit to share their growth!
Students will be required to leave their CLSD Chromebook at CMS in their advisory class over spring break. If you feel your child requires their Chromebook at home during spring break for educational reasons, please contact Mr. Tomco or Ms. Paroubek. We are two weeks into the 4th quarter and there will be NO ASSIGNED WORK to be completed during spring break.
Please consider purchasing tickets to the PTO event, "Light up the Night." The focus of this fundraiser will be to upgrade the STEM room with new furniture, and storage to increase the collaboration of students and project space for Mr. Hilston. I have linked a video outlining this project below. I still have open spots at my table if that will increase the likelihood of your attendance!! Click the "LIGHT UP THE NIGHT" banner below to purchase tickets.
I hope EVERYONE has a safe and relaxing break. If you are traveling, safe travels. If you are staying local, hopefully, we have decent weather, and your child(ren) can start the spring cleanup in the yard.
-Mr. Tomco

CMS JUST RUN
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!
