SPECIAL MENTION - LAILAH PUGH
by Division C Head Coach Gordon Burgess:
"Chardon High School senior Lailah Pugh has been a member of Chardon Science Olympiad for all 7 of her SO-eligible school years, including 2020-21 when contests were held virtually. When it became obvious that we were not going to have a Division C team for 2021, Lailah chose to attend my epidemiology meetings via Zoom and mentor our CMS Disease Detectives students. She has been an AWESOME team member and ALWAYS has a good attitude."
CONGRATULATIONS & SEE YOU SOON!
Congratulations to all Chardon SO students, head coaches, assistant coaches, and parent volunteers on another incredible year! We look forward to seeing you at the May 15th BOE meeting!
