Congratulations to our October Power of One Winner, Mr. Ben Juarez of Margaret B. Pollard Middle!! His nominator said: "My daughter had some difficulty with managing negative peer interactions in PE class. I reached out to Coach Juarez several times, and he was incredibly empathetic and responsive in an entirely unexpected way. He has worked strategically to support my daughter in making stronger connections with peers and to help her feel more comfortable trying new activities. But even beyond that, he taught a lesson on sportsmanship specifically related to the area of need my daughter had expressed. He was able to achieve this without revealing to her that she was the catalyst or that he was doing anything to directly assist her. I think we often allow stereotypes about PE to cloud our perception of the role these teachers play in our children's lives. I want to spotlight his empathetic and effective efforts to help students, from friendships to large life lessons."

Congratulations to our October Champion of Character Winner, Nathan Miller of North Chatham Elementary, for embodying the character word "Responsibility"!

Nathan's nominator said: "Nathan is such a dependable and helpful Safety Patrol at NCE every afternoon! He is always ready to jump in, quickly opening doors and helping students get to their cars safely and responsibly. Nathan not only opens car doors and assists students at his 2-3 stations, but he also covers my 2 stations, allowing me to safely focus on calling flights of students to the carpool line over the walkie. Nathan's consistency, responsibility, and willingness to help make our carpool run so much more smoothly, this is the most efficient carpool dismissal has been at NCE in years, and a part of that is thanks to Nathan! He does this every day with a smile. He is a positive and responsible leader. Thank you for being someone we can count on every day! #OneChatham #ForwardTogether

Every student has a story worth telling.
Last week, poet and teaching artist Phillip Shabazz reminded our Margaret B. Pollard Middle students of exactly that. Through poetry, students reflected on their experiences and their dreams, and discovered that their voices matter. Thank you, Mr. Shabazz, and the Chatham Arts Council for helping our students see themselves as fledgling writers. #OneChatham #ForwardTogether

🧡 Today, Central Services staff are wearing orange! 🧡

Happy Unity Day from the Chatham County Schools Central Services team!

Why orange? Unity Day, as part of National Bullying Prevention Month, chooses orange as a color representing safety and visibility. Our work at Central Services may happen behind the scenes, but our purpose is the same as every classroom’s: supporting our school communities where all children are seen and heard.
