I am proud to say that Chardon Middle School, lead by Tim Bowens (among others) has been a supporter and one of the leading school donators to the Flight 93 memorial fund. Over the past several years our 6th graders have visited the crash site, listened to guest speakers at school, and created beautiful pieces of art in remembrance of all the heroes of September 11, 2001. As a person with firefighters in my family and a vivid personal memory of that day, I just wanted to take a moment to tell everyone about this years fundraiser dinner. The flyer is attached below. If you are anywhere in the Ohio area and would like to stop by for dinner, we would love to have you as our guest. One school, one community, one heartbeat. Several Chardon Middle School teachers are extremely committed to giving our students a deep sense of not only personal/local/national history, but a sense of community involvement and enrichment. The Flight 93 and 9/11 activities are one of several ways in which our teachers are connecting students with something greater than themselves. This year students at the middle school will also be participating in a day of service. I do not normally advertise events in this blog, but the amazing work of the teachers I am lucky enough to call friends here in Chardon needs to be shared with the world. If you know any first responders, military personal, or hereos in any sense of the word please shake their hand and thank them for their continued selflessness.

I think that it is great that the Chardon students go to visit this site. I work for Akron Public Schools and think this would be a great trip to take for the students, especially in the high school or middle school.
