Advisory Period Proves Useful in Many Ways

Coming into the school year, there were many questions about how we might use the new 'Advisory Period'.  This 30 minute block of time has a great deal of potential and has been used in many ways throughout the 1st trimester.  It will evolve over time , but for now, we are seeing it used as a study hall, a way for students to get help from teachers, a meeting time for student organizations -- Student Council, SADD, FTA, Principal's Advisory Council, and pep assemblies.  Recently, we began hosting college and armed forces recruiting sessions during advisory period.  These are offered to students (voluntarily) who are interested in the specific programs.  Most recently, we hosted the Ohio State Beauty Academy -- three students visited with an advisor from the Academy to learn more about the program and requirements for admission (pictured above).

All in all, this period of time has become a very useful and worthwhile 1/2 hour.

Remember the Bulldogs

On Friday, October 29th, CHS held the final fall pep assembly -- titled "Remember the Bulldogs" (a play off of the movie 'Remember the Titans').  Organized by the Spirit Squad, the pep assembly was a huge hit and recognized ALL fall sports athletes.  The student body was also given a show by the senior football players who performed a dance from the movie!  Also, Hannah J. and Alex A. sang the song "Ain't no Mountain High Enough".  Watch the video below!

Spirit Week @ CHS

Frosh Science students calculate the
speed of cars going by on Wayne St.

We have many great things going on at CHS... in and out of the classroom!  Among other things in the last couple of weeks, we have seen students calculating the speed of cars coming down Wayne Street using only a stopwatch, playing miniature golf with robots, evaluating the range of motion and strength of newly learned muscles of the ankle and lower leg, learning the difference between disc and cylinder brakes (hope I got that right Mr. Dorsten!), and making commercials.  These are just a few of the things our students are doing in the classroom... the ones I have observed!

What are we doing outside of the classroom?

Well, this week, nearly EVERYONE'S attention is on the big rivalry week.  The week of the St. Marys football game is traditionally Spirit Week at CHS... what does this mean?
