CCHS: The CCHS Practical Communications Class had a series of guest speakers join them in October and November as part of their Career Explorations project. The speakers talked about what to expect in their career and day-to-day life of the job and specifically addressed areas of communication required in each field. The guest speakers were: Britney Ortega, medical field; Phyllys Dowd, accountant and business ownership; Wyatt Getto, real estate and business ownership; Reto Gross and Wade Henderson, lineman and electrical work. Additional guest speakers scheduled to come in at a later date include: Daniel Slentz, computer and technology; Chase Johnson, culinary; and Tedd Ott, welding, mechanical.

CCMS: Before the break, CCMS celebrated Kindness Week, which included dress-up days, advisory kindness activities, and a fun assembly to conclude the week. CCMS was awarded a Kindness Grant from the Choose Kindness Foundation. Every Wednesday, advisories participate in kindness lessons from the Random Acts of Kindness program that align with the school-wide expectations of mutual respect, attentive listening, and appreciation. Teacher Kailyn Mann held a t-shirt design competition, and students voted which design was their favorite. The winning design will be printed onto t-shirts for students and staff. The design will be announced in the coming weeks, and CCMS plans to have shirts ready to go right after the break.

Numa: Numa’s “Classy Awards” bulletin board is filled with stars. Numa started the board at the beginning of the year, encouraging students and staff to express their appreciation by giving classy awards for outstanding, classy behavior, including all things both social and academic. The Classy Awards are announced at least twice a week and the stars are put on the bulletin board. When the board is full, the stars are taken down and given to the recipients. This is the second time they have filled the award board. Pictured are Numa Student Council students. 

ECB: Fallon’s Rotary Club made their annual donation of brand new dictionaries to every third grader last week. “Our students love having new books in their hands, and we love watching them get so excited each year. In a world of so much technology, this day always makes us so happy,” said teacher Christine Mori. 

LES: Students in Crystal Cabral’s first-grade class started learning about Christmas around the world. They learned about holiday traditions in Germany, South Africa, Mexico, and Brazil. They discussed differences and similarities in different countries, learned songs and how to say “Merry Christmas” in other languages, and they made a craft to represent the country they learned about.

Thank you Kelli Kelly.Comment publication date: 3/21/26, 8:12 AMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Bob SondgrothComment text: There are times when you should just know about someone. Who and what they REALLY were. Because they were devotional and IMPORTANT to the humans they connected with. The content of their life bled so that others could feel their own life’s importance. Teachers of justifiable life and art. That all can absorb and use as the best fertilizer for THEIR lives. Giving the silent secrets and the loud guidance. The Melon Man was a perfect specimen for how to devote. His passing meant a life book of feeling/knowing what gives other humans their paths to Love and Knowledge. Some humans are meant to show others their paths. And in that they secrete ways to profitably exist.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 4:50 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon Man
