Reading Comes Alive:

Mr. Milliron and his Donkey, Shaggy, recently visited Munson Elementary first-grade students.

The students recently read “Waiting for the Biblioburro,” a story based on a mobile library service which used donkeys to bring books to children in Colombia.

Students also had the chance to check out the Geauga County Library’s Bookmobile, allowing students to experience a real-life library on wheels.

We are grateful to our community partners who support our students and help to bring their learning to life!

Great job, Celia!

Topper Tuesday Finance FAQs

Ever wonder how district finances work at Chardon Local Schools?

The General Fund serves as our primary operating fund, covering day-to-day essentials like teacher salaries, classroom materials, utilities and transportation.

When looking at revenue, local taxes make up 74% of district funding, state sources contribute 16% and other revenue accounts for 10%. By law, restricted dollars set aside for athletics, food service, grants and building projects cannot be transferred into the General Fund.

Looking at recent trends, actual annual revenue from 2022 through 2026 has remained flat, staying between $38 million and $40 million. Check out the visual breakdown to learn more about how district dollars are managed.

Great job to these Hilltopper student-athletes!

WOODRIDGE XC INVITATIONAL 🌲⛰️

A TRUE cross country race.

All week, we told our Toppers that Woodridge was not about the clock. This course is about racing — being tough, staying engaged, competing for position, and responding when the course gets hard.

And they did exactly that.

We prepared for the hills. We talked through the tough spots. We knew there would be moments when Woodridge would ask a lot of them.

They answered.

🏆 Girls — 2nd in our division | 3rd overall
🏆 Boys — 2nd in our division | 11th overall

Our girls put together an especially strong team performance. Mira finished 3rd overall, followed by Beatrice in 15th and Brooke in 16th. Then came a HUGE pack from our 4–6 runners — Rosemary 32nd, Reese 33rd and Maggie 35th, separated by only 12 seconds!

That is TEAM cross country. ❤️🖤

Top 5 Girls:
Mira Palombo — 20:48.3
Beatrice Snyder — 22:11.0
Brooke Turner — 22:15.8
Rosemary Sweet — 23:37.5
Reese O’Reilly — 23:45.8

Top 5 Boys:
Matthew Ghobrial — 18:52.5
Ashton Ryan — 19:37.9
Bryson Koehler — 19:40.1
Richard Crombie — 20:02.1
Jonathan Calzada — 20:26.3

And while today wasn’t about chasing PRs, Leo earned one anyway — a Woodridge course PR of 24:38! 👏

Today wasn’t about what the clock said. It was about how we raced.

We came away from one of the toughest courses of the season strong, proud, and a little tougher than we were when we arrived.

THAT is cross country.

❤️🖤 GO TOPPERS!
