Robots, AAA, & More

Golfing Robots
This week has once again been filled with a number of fun and interesting activities for students.  On Tuesday, Mr. Jenkins' Geometry class used robots to play Putt-Putt Golf.  Students had to use their knowledge of angles, segments, and geometry in general to program robots, using graphing calculators, to complete a Putt-Putt course (see pictures below).


Free AAA Maintenance Checks
On Thursday, AAA provided free Maintenance Checks for student vehicles.  50 student drivers took advantage of this free opportunity and were rewarded with a free hot dog lunch from 2 Willy's.  Five students were awarded a free AAA one-year membership:

    Students Make Commercials
    On Thursday and Friday, students in the new class "Successful Speaking" presented their commercials to the class.  The commercials were recorded and will be played back during class for peer critique!  Stay tuned for one of the commercials to be posted on the blog!





    BULLDOG SPIRIT
    On Friday, the CHS Marching Band continued with a new tradition: Marching the halls, playing the fight song during 1st period on Friday home games.  Students & staff enjoy this opportunity to get pumped up & excited for the game!  The 2nd floor classes lined the hallways to cheer on the band!






    Also, the Spirit Squad awarded the 1st Spirit Award to a student randomly drawn from those nominated by their 1st period teacher.  Congratulations to Cierra Pontious on winning this award!  GO DOGS!
