MMM 29 March

Welcome back! We hope you had a relaxing enjoyable spring break. Here comes the home stretch! Stay engaged and work one piece at a time. Connect with your advisor as needed to follow up from your conference and to set goals for the remainder of the school year so you finish on a strong note. 
 
Seniors, our next meeting is next Monday, April 5, during Practicum. We will talk more about end of year celebrations and support you need. Senior work is due in six weeks! Make each day count.
 
General announcements

• Appreciations!
  • Natalie- Gratitude for the road trip module, Sam Durbin as inspiration, Mason Foreman, Kaileb, Danny for teaching Natalie how to do fractions
  • Christine- All the students who work on top of going to school
  • Jeanette- Staff & students for continuing community service 
  • Robiny- Everyone’s safety and health 
• Other announcements
  • Bathroom cleanliness: please be respectful - don’t throw paper towels on the floor or pee on the floor, don’t put snot on the walls (hard to believe we need to say that, but it apparently needs to be said!)
  • Language and aggressiveness: school can be stressful, but don’t take it out on each other or on the staff. Take a break if you are getting elevated.
  • Neighbors have noticed litter from CCHS students on their properties - I have found lunch trash, milk cartons, and wrappers from the snack basket the week before break. Littering reflects poorly on the reputation of the school as a whole, which burns bridges we are trying to build with the community. Please represent CCHS well!
  • The kitchen is still closed; we are still waiting on ideas from students to keep it orderly
