CCMS, main photo above: Written by CCMS Student Council Advisor Courtney Aguilera. On March 29, during lunch, the CCMS Student Council met to discuss after-Spring Break activities. The agenda included an upcoming Reno Aces Educational Day field trip, fundraising ideas, a student council Friday dinner, an end-of-the-year dance, and upcoming elections for the next school year. At this meeting, the CCMS Honor Society, run by Kathy Buckmaster, was also in attendance. Both groups are interested in further collaborations with one another to unite CCMS. They will be working together on a school-wide drive to collect items for the new CCMS Closet, gathering personal hygiene items and clothing to stock in the closet for students in need. 

Numa,: Fifth-grade teachers Kovis and Lee invited the CCHS Plant Science instructor and several of her students to speak to the Numa students about plants and helped them all plant their own. Students were able to choose from wasabi arugula, lettuce, potato, and chamomile. They are learning about local agriculture, food chains, and the preservation/protection of resources, and the students will design their own agricultural-related businesses and learn about the process of applying for a business loan. The students are currently in the research phase as they learn about what it takes to own and operate an ag-related business and will present their business proposals at the end of the project. (Pictured right: Students in Arantxa Kovis and Kristina Lee's classes got assistance from CCHS Plant Science students in planting their own plants as part of a project-based learning unit.)

E.C. Best, not pictured: Students in Melissa Humphrey’s second-grade class finished their informative writing unit that focused on the ability to write an informative/explanatory text with an introduction, facts, and a concluding sentence. They started by choosing an animal they were interested in learning about and then had to research their animal's habitat, what they looked like, and other interesting facts about the animal. Using their research, they wrote their rough draft and edited the rough draft, looking for mistakes, and then they wrote their final draft. The last step was to draw a diagram and show where their animal lives on a map. 

Lahontan: Students in Erika Stanford’s kindergarten class had an Easter egg hunt with a little twist. Students had to collect as many eggs as they could find, and then before they were allowed to open them, they had to read the word or solve the math problem on the egg. By the end, everyone had opened all of their eggs. (Pictured left: Erika Standford's class had an Easter egg hunt.)

Northside Early Learning Center: For the last four weeks, students in Octavia Merritt’s class have been waiting to see what would come out of the eggs they decorated and have been keeping warm every day during school - they hatched chicks. They talked about how to take care of the eggs and keep them warm as well as guessed what may come out of them. This was a great way to learn how to care for our things and how to be patient. (Pictured below: A baby chick that one of the students in Octavia Merritt's class hatched.)

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
