Staff Bulletin: November 10, 2004

It's hard to believe that we are into the second quarter of the year
already. My sincere thanks to each of you for the great work you do and
the wonderful start to this school year!

November Late Starts

Our second late start of the month, Wednesday, November 17th, will be
for Curriculum Areas to meet.

Staff Holiday Party, December 15th

Secret Santas

We are planning a CHS Staff Secret Santa week for December 13-17th, the
last week of school before winter break. Staff members wishing to
participate should sign up with Karla by Thursday, December 2nd. Names
will be drawn and distributed via notes in your mailboxes to those
participating Friday the 3rd to allow plenty of time for Secret Santas
to plan and scheme.

What does the Secret Santa event entail? When you sign up to
participate, your name/information will go into a pool, out of which
will be drawn who you will be Secret Santa to and who will have you.
These names will be drawn and the results distributed December 3rd.
During the week of December 13th, each day you will secretly give your
person a gift (to the individual you "drew"), and you will receive a
gift from your Secret Santa (that person who "drew" your name).
Friday's gift is typically bigger - a sort of finale and on Friday the
17th, we will have a get together in the staff room immediately
following the release of school where Secret Santas can reveal
themselves to the person they have treated all week. If you have
further questions, see Karla.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
