PARK PENCIL POINT NEWSLETTER
September 28, 2023
The mission of the Chardon Local Schools is we commit to high achievement for all students.
From the Principal Desk—
Hello Hilltopper Families:
The 2023-2024 school year is moving along! It’s hard to believe October is just around the corner. Students are feeling more comfortable with our expectations and routines, teachers are seeing learning and growth in their classrooms and students are “climbing to the TOP” and earning Topper Tickets. I love when they visit the office and tell us what they did to get a ticket!
Students were excited to visit the SkyDome yesterday with their classes and catch a glimpse of the Northern Hemisphere. The smiles and “oohs” and “aahs” said it all. As they were leaving the mobile planetarium, I caught some students talking about how they wanted to be astronauts when they grew up or work for NASA.
As the weather gets colder, please remember to send your students to school with outerwear and clothes that are appropriate for the constantly changing weather. If possible you can always keep an “extra” set of clothes in your child’s bookbag. Have a wonderful “fall filled” weekend and I hope to see you at the PTO “FUND” fest on Friday from 5-7 PM at Hornyak Farms.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Makee
Mystery Book Fair
The book fair was a wonderful success. The students had a lot of fun buying books and playing the guessing game. The fair generated over $4500. The profits will help purchase books and items for the Park School Library.
A BIG thanks to our volunteers for making the Book Fair a big success by helping with the set up, helping students with selecting great books, aiding with the games, and just helping making the book fair fun.
