3rd Annual Run The Guantlet

Churchill's third annual Run The Guantlet (Run/Walk/Stroll Event) is happening this weekend, on Sunday, April 24th. Sign-up forms are in the front office. Your participation supports student scholarships and activities. For more information, contact Randy Robinson.

Plan to donate! The Bloodmobile will be here longer this year, 9am to 3pm to hopefully allow more people to donate. Make your appointment as soon as possible in the Health Center. Thanks for your past support of the Bloodmobile...

The Chalkboard Project is gathering information to identify the state's educational priorities. The goal is not for the Foundations to set these priorities, nor for the policy-makers in Salem to set them, but rather for the citizens of Oregon to explore the issues and discuss some choices about what is most important to us in building a superior K-12 public education system in Oregon. We have Feedback Booklets (surveys) with which you are able to submit your opinions regarding their numerous questions regarding school changes. The surveys are completely confidential. I encourage you all to participate. See Karla if you would like to.

I will be meeting with the Senior class on Tuesday, April 26th at 9:45am in the Cafeteria.

We will be conducting our portion of the Oregon Healthy Teens Survey on Friday, April 29th, during 7th period in the Cafeteria for JUNIORS. More information will be coming your way in the next week.

Please let Karla know by next Friday, April 29th, how many of the cords for your group/CAM you will need for graduation. These need to be ordered the first week of May.

Students in the Rachel Carson Program have worked hard this year to prepare for their annual spring plant sale. Organically raised vegetable, herb and flower starts, hanging flower baskets, native trees and shrubs will be available. The sale will be held at the Churchill greenhouse on Saturday, April 30th and Saturday, May 7th from 10am-4pm, and on Friday, May 6th from 3-5pm. Come see the Churchill Greenhouse and meet students in the Rachel Carson program as you take care of all your spring planting needs!

We will have our May staff meeting during our late start on Wednesday, May 11th, 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 May 18th will be for Curriculum areas to meet.

You are cordially invited to volunteer at Churchill High Schools Junior-Senior Prom, La Dolce Vita! The dance will be held from 8:30 until 11:30 in the evening on Saturday, the 21st of May. Chaperones will arrive early and will continue their service until the conclusion of the dance. We would love to have you, and anyone else you may know who would like to help be a chaperone for this years prom. You can confirm by leaving a note or talking to Cindy Wilgus. Thank you so much for you time and consideration. The Junior class looks forward to working with you this year at our Prom.

If you do not have a flag in your classroom, please let Karla know this week. We will be ordering some to make sure all classrooms have them for the pledge of allegiance in the announcements each week. Thanks!

Have a great week!
