Is That Tweeting I Hear @ CHS?

Tweeting is not just for the celebrities any more!  Twitter has made its way into mainstream America in many ways.  Not as popular as Facebook (yet), this "microblogging" service is an easy was to give short updates on one's status.  Many celebrities use Twitter to connect with their fans (Ashton Kutcher has over 6 million followers!) and more recently, businesses and organizations began using this social media tool to connect with customers and constituents.  For example, McDonald's, Walmart, and the Cincinnati Reds are all on Twitter and so are many politicians: Barack Obama, John Kasich, & John Boehner to name a few.

So how does any of this apply to Celina High School?  Well, now we are Tweeting... using this service as another way to connect with the students, parents, the community, and the world.  Here is a sample tweet:
The Ohio Graduation Test officially begins this morning! Good luck to all taking the test! 14 Mar 
Following us is easy:

  1. If you have a Twitter account already, simply follow @CHSBulldogNews
  2. If you aren't on Twitter yet, create an account and follow us.  Here is a link to a nice article on how to get started with Twitter if you need some guidance. 
  3. If you don't want to use Twitter, you can STILL FOLLOW OUR TWEETS, via text messages by following these instructions: 
    • Send a text message to the number 40404 with a message that states: "follow @CHSBulldogNews"
    • You will receive a text message every time we Tweet.  
    • If you want to stop following us via text message at any time, simply send a message to 40404 that says 'Leave CHSBulldogNews
I hope you consider keeping up to date with CHS in this new way.  It certainly is exciting to be able to share so much of what is going on at our school!
