MMM 16 December 2019

Final week before break! Keep your heads down and use this week productively. Remember, Old Dogs, that this is your last week to catch up with ICAP credits to hold your current color on the Road to Graduation. Prioritize Tech if you don’t want to bump back down to the white, and prioritize Work Experience and Personal Finance if you don’t want to bump down to red. 

Many of you know this already, but to make the announcement formal - sadly, Morgan is leaving us this week. She and her husband are moving back to Oklahoma because of a job shift for her husband. Morgan has been a great sport jumping into the English position this semester, and we’ll miss her! Please take a minute to thank Morgan this week! Anna Sitton, who has taught at CCHS in the past, has agreed to come on board for the beginning of next semester. We are grateful for her willingness to step in at the last moment! She’ll be a strong contributor, given that she already understands our systems, module approach, and Discovery.
