Calling All Veterans
Chardon Schools is proud to honor the service and sacrifice of men and women who have served in the armed forces. Each of our elementary schools will be hosting an Veterans Day event on Friday, November 11, 2016.
Hambden School staff would appreciate any veterans that are able to come share their stories with our students. The program begins at 9:00 am followed by a luncheon. If you are interested, please contact the Hambden School office at 440-286-7503.

Munson School will be hosting two Veterans Day Assemblies: Grades 3 – 5 from 9:30 am – 10:00 am and Grades K – 2 from 2:20 pm – 3:00 pm. If any of our military including parents or grandparents would like to join us, either as participants or guests, please contact Principal Louise Henry at louise.henry@chardonschools.org
Park School will honor Veterans at 9:45 am at Park Auditorium. We invite parents/relatives of our students who have served in the Armed Forces to attend this program. We would ask veterans to wear their uniforms, if possible. We would like to give each veteran an opportunity to share (1 – 5 minutes) with our audience their years of service, area of service in the Armed Forces, and what being a veteran means to them. We are also asking that our Boy and Girl Scouts wear their uniforms for this day. School parking is limited. Parking on the Square is more accessible to our auditorium.
Note from School Nurses
Please note that strep throat has been reported in several Chardon elementary schools. Most common symptoms are fever, red throat, and tender and swollen neck glands. Symptoms may vary. Some children may generally not feel well, have no fever or a low grade fever, loss of appetite, headache, and stomachache. Diagnosis is made by a throat culture. Students may return to school after 24 hours of antibiotic is completed. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential in preventing serious complications. Because strep throat is spread like a cold, encourage your child to use good hygiene practices such as always coughing into their elbow or a tissue. Frequent hand washing and keeping hands away from the face are the best preventative measures. Please have your child wash their hands as soon as they get home (from anywhere). These good practices will help decrease the likelihood of getting so many colds or strep throat.

The students measured the size and observed the characteristics of the outside of a pumpkin, learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin, observed the inside of the pumpkin with their five senses and later tasted and described pumpkin seeds.
