CCHS had a fantastic kick-off to the new school year with an all-school assembly last Friday. Students learned and sang the school fight song, watched the cheerleaders perform, listened to the choir and band and the fall sports teams were introduced. “It was a good time and an incredible ending to the second week of school. It is always so great to see all of our students and staff together celebrating our school,” said Vice Principal Rachel Knight.

Students in Courtney Aguilera’s class completed a team-building activity where they collaborated to build a tower with notecards, with the tallest tower winning. However, there was a catch to make it more challenging. Students could only use a notecard to make the tower taller if they could find something they all had in common. Students had to write these commonalities on the notecard before adding it to the tower. “This activity is very important because it helps students develop effective communication and social skills, active listening, and get to know one another,” said Aguilera.

Fourth-grade student Fiona McMoones had the opportunity to be the “weather kid” on Channel 2 News last week. McMoones’ family saw a promotion looking for the next “weather kid,” so they went to the website, and McMoones signed up for the opportunity about two months ago. “It took a bit of time before she got her turn, but it was well worth it,” said McMoones’ mother, Erin McMindes. McMoones got to tour the KTVN building, and she watched the show from the control room and studio. McMoones and her mom said everyone there was so great, but Mike Alger was great at explaining everything and was so friendly. “The weatherman was really funny, and I loved doing it,” said McMoones.

Third-grade students in Monica Mayfield's and Stacy Stults’ classes followed the steps in the scientific method to answer how a secret message can be revealed. Students learned about chemical reactions and how they can be caused by mixing alkaline and acidic substances. In addition to showing the hidden message, they had a little extra time to discover what happens when mixing vinegar and baking soda. “It’s so fun to watch our students learn and experience new and exciting things,” said Stults.

Kindergarten students started last Monday, and kindergarten teachers have already taken the year by storm. Students are busy learning their letters, colors, and numbers. One of the ways the kindergarten teachers help teach students their colors is by focusing on one color each week. Last week, the color was red. Students did activities and learned songs related to the color red, and then they ended the week wearing red to school.
