The time is now.
I’m running for school board to bring Heart, Advocacy, Trust, Care, and Hope into every classroom and community. Our students deserve more than promises—they deserve action. 💛 Let’s build a future where every child feels seen, supported, and prepared to succeed. I’m Charlitta from Charlotte. I grew up here. I’m raising my kids here and now I’m ready to lead here.
Let’s make it happen—together. #HATCHforSchools #EveryChildMatters #SchoolBoard2025 #HeartInEveryDecision #AdvocateForAll #HopeForTheFuture #FYP #Explore #hatchforcms #CLT by @hatch.forcms

What if your first stop wasn't Google... but your library? 📚⁠ ⁠ One thing Antuan Hawkins said completely changed my perspective:⁠ ⁠ "Make the library your first resource."⁠ ⁠ Need homework help?⁠ ⁠ Looking for career resources?⁠ ⁠ Searching for reliable information?⁠ ⁠ Need a meeting space, technology, or help finding community services?⁠ ⁠ Start with your library.⁠ ⁠ If they have it, they'll connect you.⁠ ⁠ If they don't, they'll point you in the right direction.⁠ ⁠ That's what community looks like.⁠ ⁠ And the best part?⁠ ⁠ Most of it is free.⁠ ⁠ 🎧 Tune in to the full episode of The Community Classroom to discover why your local library may be the most underutilized community resource we have. #linkinbio⁠ ⁠ 💬 What's one thing you've discovered your library offers that surprised you? If you haven't visited in a while, what would make you stop in this month?⁠ ⁠ #TheCommunityClassroom #CharlotteMecklenburgLibrary #Libraries #EducationMatters by @hatch.forcms

What if family engagement started before families needed it?⁠ ⁠ Too often, we wait until a student is struggling, a transition is happening, or a concern arises before we begin building relationships.⁠ ⁠ But the strongest partnerships are built early.⁠ ⁠ Before the first day of school.⁠ Before the schedule change.⁠ Before the questions.⁠ Before the challenges.⁠ ⁠ One of the most powerful ideas from this conversation was simple: start sooner.⁠ ⁠ Because a family that feels connected from the beginning is more likely to stay connected throughout the journey.⁠ ⁠ 💬 If you could redesign family engagement, what's one thing you would change?⁠ ⁠ 🎧 Listen to the full conversation on The Community Classroom. ⁠ #TheCommunityClassroom #FamilyEngagement #PTA #ParentLeadership #SchoolCommunity by @hatch.forcms

Is it actually dangerous or am I just nervous because I'm the parent? 😂⁠ ⁠ Whew! That's a question!⁠ ⁠ As parents, we can imagine about 15 things going wrong before our child even gets started. And because we love them, our first instinct is often to say NO.⁠ ⁠ But what happens when our fears start limiting their experiences?⁠ ⁠ I asked Drew Chalfant, co-owner of HAWKs Lake Norman, how parents can tell the difference between real danger and the discomfort of watching our children take risks.⁠ ⁠ And I think this is a conversation more of us need to have.⁠ ⁠ Our job is to protect our children from harm, but it's also to prepare them for a world where we won't always be standing beside them.⁠ ⁠ That means learning when to step in, when to supervise, and when to give them a little room to figure things out.⁠ ⁠ And trust me, sometimes that last one is harder on us than it is on them! 😂⁠ ⁠ 🎙️ Watch our full conversation on The Community Classroom as we talk about outdoor play, independence, healthy risks, and raising confident kids.⁠ ⁠ #TheCommunityClassroom #HawksKids #Parenting #OutdoorPlay #RaisingConfidentKids by @hatch.forcms

Are we protecting our kids from danger or sometimes protecting them from growing up? 👀⁠ ⁠ As a mom, I get it. I don't want my children getting hurt, making mistakes, or experiencing disappointment.⁠ ⁠ But I also tell my children every morning, “I can do hard things.” And we don't just say it. We have to actually DO hard things.⁠ ⁠ That means sometimes letting them climb a little higher, figure something out on their own, get frustrated, fall down, and try again.⁠ ⁠ During my conversation with Drew Chalfant of HAWKs Lake Norman, we talked about the difference between keeping children safe and removing every challenge from their lives.⁠ ⁠ Because resilience isn't something we can simply teach our children in a conversation. They need opportunities to practice it.⁠ ⁠ And sometimes that practice comes with muddy shoes, scraped knees, and a few tears. 🌳⁠ ⁠ 🎙️ Catch our full conversation on The Community Classroom as we talk about outdoor play, healthy risk-taking, independence, and raising children who are confident enough to try hard things.⁠ ⁠ #TheCommunityClassroom #HawksKids #Parenting #OutdoorPlay by @hatch.forcms

Anybody else remember when the bus stop was a whole social event? 😂⁠ ⁠ We talked, laughed, played around, and somehow managed to solve all the world's problems before the bus even showed up!⁠ ⁠ Now, drive past a bus stop and you might see six kids standing six feet apart, all looking down at their phones.⁠ ⁠ During my conversation with Drew Chalfant, co-owner of HAWKs Lake Norman, we talked about what our children might be missing in a world where they're constantly connected to technology but not always connected to each other.⁠ ⁠ But here's what gave me hope: Drew says he can't tell which kids spend hours outside and which ones spend hours on screens.⁠ ⁠ Because once they're out on the trails together, something happens. They explore. They laugh. They get curious. They play.⁠ ⁠ And they're just kids.⁠ ⁠ Maybe our children haven't lost their love for the outdoors. Maybe they just need more opportunities to experience it. 🌳⁠ ⁠ 🎙️ Watch our full conversation on The Community Classroom as we talk about screen time, outdoor adventures, independence, and why getting kids outside matters.⁠ ⁠ #QOTD: Parents, what's something you did outside as a child that you wish your kids experienced more often? 👇🏾⁠ ⁠ #TheCommunityClassroom #HawksKids #OutdoorLearning #ScreenTime #ChildhoodUnplugged by @hatch.forcms

If AI can translate another language in seconds, why should our children spend years learning one? 🤔⁠ ⁠ It's a question worth asking, especially as technology continues to change how we learn, work, and communicate.⁠ ⁠ But here's what AI can't always give us: the culture, connection, humor, and lived experiences behind the words.⁠ ⁠ Think about our Southern sayings. 😂 You can translate the words, but that doesn't mean you understand what somebody is really saying!⁠ ⁠ Dr. Proctor and I got into this during our conversation on The Community Classroom, and it goes beyond bilingual education.⁠ ⁠ AI can help us communicate across languages. But understanding each other requires more than translation.⁠ ⁠ And that's something I want our children to experience, not just automate.⁠ ⁠ 🎙️ Watch the full episode of The Community Classroom for more on dual language immersion, AI, and what it means to prepare our children for a changing world.⁠ ⁠ #QOTD: What do you think? With AI getting better at translation, is learning another language still as important? 👇⁠ ⁠ #TheCommunityClassroom #DualLanguageImmersion #AILiteracy #BilingualEducation #FutureOfLearning by @hatch.forcms

“But what about their English? Won't they fall behind?” 🤔⁠ ⁠ It's one of the biggest questions parents have about dual language immersion programs, and it's a fair one!⁠ ⁠ When your child is learning science, math, and other subjects in Spanish, it's natural to wonder what that means for their English development.⁠ ⁠ But here's what I loved about my conversation with Dr. Anastasia Proctor: Learning in another language doesn't mean learning stops.⁠ ⁠ Your child may be learning about the water cycle in Spanish, but they're still learning about the water cycle! 🌎📚⁠ ⁠ And Dr. Proctor shares something that may surprise parents: research suggests that while dual language students may initially lag in English, they can eventually outperform their peers in English achievement.⁠ ⁠ 🎙️ Watch our full conversation on The Community Classroom as we break down dual language immersion, what the research says, and what families should consider when choosing a program.⁠ ⁠ Would you consider a dual language immersion program for your child? Why or why not? 👇⁠ ⁠ #TheCommunityClassroom #DualLanguageImmersion #BilingualEducation #ParentChoice by @hatch.forcms

Anybody else ever look at their child’s homework and think, “I KNOW I learned this somewhere!” 😂📚⁠ ⁠ Whether it’s math we haven’t seen in 20 years or homework in a language we’re still learning, sometimes parents need a little help too!⁠ ⁠ I loved this part of my conversation with Dr. Proctor because it’s a reminder that we don't have to know everything to support our children. Sometimes the best lesson we can teach them is how to ask questions, find resources, and keep learning.⁠ ⁠ And yes, that includes pulling out Google Translate or Googling a math formula! 😂⁠ ⁠ 🎙️ Catch our full conversation on The Community Classroom on @wsicnews as we talk about bilingual education, what the experience really looks like for families, and what parents should know.⁠ ⁠ Because learning doesn't stop with our kids. Sometimes we're doing the homework right alongside them! 💜⁠ ⁠ #TheCommunityClassroom #Parenting #BilingualEducation #Google #LanguageImmersion by @hatch.forcms

Report card season is coming, but grades only tell part of the story! This week on Good Morning LKN, we were joined by Dr. Charlitta Hatch - CMS Board of Education, District 1 (@hatch.forcms) and host of The Community Classroom. Dr. Hatch shared why parent-teacher conferences are about more than grades. From supporting learning at home to checking on friendships and a child's sense of belonging, she encourages parents to ask questions, connect with teachers, and support their child's overall growth. Catch The Community Classroom Mondays at 5 PM on WSIC! You can watch the full episode on YouTube, the WSIC News App, or wherever you get your podcasts! #GoodMorningLKN #LakeNorman #TheCommunityClassroom #ParentTeacherConferences #ParentingTips by @hatch.forcms

What if we spent less time telling students WHAT to learn and more time showing them WHY it matters? 🤔📚⁠ ⁠ I asked the student leaders behind The Mastery Mentors what they would change about schools if they had the chance.⁠ ⁠ Their answer wasn't less homework or easier tests. 😂⁠ ⁠ They want more interactive learning and more opportunities to connect what they're taught in class to the real world.⁠ ⁠ And that stuck with me.⁠ ⁠ We spend a lot of time as adults discussing how to improve education. But how often are we asking students what would make learning more meaningful to them?⁠ ⁠ Our students aren't just the reason we make decisions about education. They should be part of shaping those decisions.⁠ ⁠ 🎙️ Watch the full episode of The Community Classroom to hear more from The Mastery Mentors about math, student leadership, and what they believe schools could do differently.⁠ ⁠ #QOTD: Parents, educators, and students: If you could change ONE thing about how students learn in school, what would it be? 👇⁠ ⁠ #TheCommunityClassroom #TheMasteryMentors #StudentVoice #StudentLeaders by @hatch.forcms
