October Fall Fun!
Finishing Strong, Together! 🍂
What a fun week at Charette! As we continue moving through the school year, our students have been learning, creating, and making memories along the way. Students put the finishing touches on their art projects, and our advisories brought their creativity to the next level with a pumpkin decorating contest! It was wonderful to see students express themselves, work together, and enjoy a little friendly competition.
We also took time to celebrate the people who make Charette special: our incredible staff! We believe that showing appreciation shouldn't be limited to Teacher Appreciation Week. Our team enjoyed slushy apple cider and delicious apple cider donuts as a small way to say thank you for the care, dedication, and hard work they bring to our school every day.
And in a moment that brought plenty of laughter to the week, our staff surprised me, Mrs. Martin, with an office makeover I will not soon forget! My office was filled with the most over-the-top
balloons imaginable, from birthdays and baby showers to Pikachu! It was such a fun and thoughtful surprise that reminded me how special it is to work alongside a team that knows how to work hard, support one another, and make room for a little joy.
As we look ahead, let's carry that same energy into the next week. Every class, every conversation, every challenge, and every small victory is an opportunity to grow. Let's keep showing up, supporting one another, and giving our best.
Let's finish this quarter strong, Charette! The goal isn't to be perfect; it's to keep growing, keep trying, and keep moving forward. Every day is another opportunity to make progress and make a difference.
In Partnership,
Mrs. Martin
🐾 Finding Their Personality Animal Pack!
In Ms. Joharlen's class, our ninth graders continued their personality exploration in ILP by discovering their animal personalities and forming their own animal packs! Students teamed up with classmates who share similar traits and learned more about how different personalities work together. They put their teamwork to the test with a fun, interactive game that encouraged connection, trust, and collaboration. Learning about ourselves is great, but learning how to understand and work with others makes the experience even more meaningful!
