Charette Updates

Another week is in the books, and while it was a short one, we still had plenty happening around Charette!

One of the things I’m especially excited about is the official launch of our Battle of the Grades Attendance Challenge! This is a chance for each grade to come together, support one another, and show what it means to be present and ready to learn. Every day counts, and we’re already seeing some friendly competition take shape.

As we continue into the school year, I encourage every student to make the most of each day at Charette. Being present means being part of the learning, the conversations, the experiences, and the community we are building together.

Let’s keep the momentum going and see which grade can take the lead!

A special shout-out to the Nonviolence Institute and our board member Lisa Scorpio for generously donating backpacks filled with school supplies for our students!

We are so grateful for partners who continue to show up for our students and our school community. Our students have already started putting their new backpacks to good use!

Thank you for supporting Charette and helping our students start the year prepared and ready to succeed!

Our seniors are already looking ahead and thinking about what they want to accomplish during their final year at Charette. Students spent time working on their senior-year goals and thinking about the milestones they want to reach before graduation.

Our juniors brought some friendly competition into the classroom this week! During a visit to their classroom, students were competing to see who could name all 50 states. There was plenty of energy, teamwork, and excitement as students put their knowledge to the test!

Our 10th graders are continuing their work with geometric sequences, building their understanding of patterns and how they can be represented mathematically.

Please join us in welcoming Alba, our Administrative Assistant! We’re excited to have her as part of the Charette community. Here are a few fun facts about Alba:

• ✈️ She loves aviation and would love to take flight simulator classes someday!
• 🎶 Music is always playing. She listens to music from the moment she wakes up until she goes to bed—even while studying.
