Congratulations to members of the Jordan-Matthews Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) who received the 2024-2025 NCHSAA Commissioner’s Trophy, which recognizes student-athletes for their service/community outreach initiatives.
JM students created the ‘Buckets of Love’ project to assist families whose homes were flooded during Hurricane Helene, and needed to be rebuilt or renovated. One of the overlooked needs was buckets to remove mud that had been washed into homes and businesses. The students gathered paint buckets (from our field preparation painting), cleaned them out, and then wrote words of encouragement to the families in need. We're beyond proud of our Jets athletes! #OneChatham #GDTBAJ
We hosted Leadership Chatham, a Chatham Chamber of Commerce program designed to develop informed, skilled, and involved community leaders.
Members got to participate in archery at JS Waters, listen to a Beatles medley from Perry Harrison's chorus, and check out the SparkLab at Seaforth, showcasing how we offer a variety of arts/athletic/academic opportunities in our schools. #OneChatham

✨ CONGRATS to our Champions of Character winner for the month of March - Integrity, Kathryn Gwennap, 5th grader at Chatham Grove. Her nominator said:
"Kathryn is a compassionate and engaged student, who shines in her empathy and kindness towards others. She believes in giving back to her community and regularly does so without interest in receiving acknowledgement for it - she simply does it because it's right and she values positively contributing to the communities that she is apart of. Kathryn takes her work seriously and is respectful to her teachers, peers, and anyone that she comes in contact with. She is a student athlete, recently was acknowledged through winning the Carson Scholarship, and is overall a well-rounded scholar. We are so glad she is a gator!" #OneChatham
🌟 Congratulations to our March Power of One recipient, Ms. Jennette Horton, Exceptional Children Program Facilitator at Central Services. Her nominator said:
"Jennette always goes above and beyond to support, advocate, and assist in creating empowering classrooms for our most vulnerable students. She is diligent and fearless in her advocacy for them. She see's possibilities where some may just see frustration. Jennette always does what is best for students, even if it means extra work and time on her part. She also advocates and supports all teachers, with high levels of support. Many students and families have been able to gain access to important services and supports. Jennette is a true example of the power of ONE. #OneChatham #SeethePossibilities
