Late Starts - April

Our April staff meeting will be during our late start Wednesday, April 6th, beginning at 7:45am. Please email me or Don Cataldo if you have suggested topics for the agenda. Please include length of time need for your topic. The completed agenda will be emailed out to all staff prior to the meeting.
Our late start on April 20th will be for Curriculum areas to meet.

As I mentioned at the staff meeting, we will be hosting a visit from the OSSI grant folks on the evening of March 28th and all day on March 29th. I will send you an agenda via email for the Monday inservice. We will review the plan for the 29th at the inservice as well. Our Inservice will start with food in the library @ 7:45am. We should be
done by 11:30am.
In the afternoon, staff members from McCornack will be in the library to present information about children from poverty backgrounds. This optional presentation is part of our regional Wallace Grant plan to address achievement gap issues. This session will run from 1:00-3:00pm. Staff members from the various schools in the Churchill region will also be attending.

On Thursday, April 7th, there will be a sign-up-to-attend assembly during 8th period for our BSU to hold their Beauty of Blackness presentation. Teachers, if you would like to bring your class, please sign up with Corey Chambers.
BSU will also present Beauty of Blackness to the CHS community the evening of Friday, April 8th, in the Auditorium.

Don't forget! If you have articles you want to get in the LAST 04-05 school year newsletter, the May/June issue, please email them to Karla by Wednesday, April 13th. Also, if you are having student presentations or anything special going on in your classrooms, please let Karla know so she can come take photos.

A great big congratulations goes out to our CHS Dance Team! The first weekend of Spring Break they competed in the State Dance and Drill Championships in Portland and were awarded 3rd place! Congratulations also go out to Tiffany Metzler who placed 2nd, out of over 250 competitors, for the individual Drill Down portion of the competition.

Our 12th annual Mr. Lancer Pageant takes place on Wednesday, April 13th at 7:00pm in the Auditorium. It will be a night of fun and laughter. The contestants have been busy raising money from throughout the community and sending letters to friends and family asking for their support. All the proceeds from their efforts, as well as the night of the pageant, go directly to the Kids Helping Kids. When all is complete, and the points have been added, a new Mr. Lancer 2005 will be crowned. For tickets or more information, contact Cindy Wilgus.

Are you looking for a fun evening? Want to help raise money for the Mr. Lancer pageant and Children's Miracle Network? Well, then mark your calendars for Monday, April 4th. The Mr. Lancer candidates will be serving dinner at 6th Street Grill restaurant from 5:30-9:30pm. This should be a night of laughter and entertainment. Scrip will be available to buy at the door. Your scrip is then used as tips, entertainment or whatever else you can think of! All scrip proceeds go to the candidates. So... make it an evening to remember and join us on April 4th. RESERVATIONS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. Call 6th Street Grill to make your reservations.

We are hosting another Latino parent night for those Latino parents interested in getting to know each other and the school better. This will be held in the Library from 7-8:30pm the evening of April 5th. Please encourage those you feel would benefit from such an event to attend. If you have questions, contact Doug Kelly.
