CCHS: CCHS graduate Dr. Misty (Moyle) Kasky spent some time with Steve Johnson’s Chemistry 122 class about what it takes to get through medical school and college in general. “The best advice I can give is to eat breakfast, do not give up what you love, whether it is dance, athletics, or music, find some way to keep doing that in college, and lastly, you have to figure out what your learning style is. Start paying attention to that now. How did you prepare, and what did you do when you did well on an exam, paper, or project? Think about that, and you will know what to do in college and med school,” Katsky said. The students also had an opportunity to ask Katsky about residency and fellowship. Pictured above.

CCMS: Written by Melody Garcia-Bishop, 8th grade CCMS Student Council Historian. 

The CCMS student council recently embarked on a heartwarming community service project by volunteering at the local senior center, Highland Manor. With their infectious energy and compassion, these young leaders brightened the lives of the elderly residents. From organizing an engaging game of bingo to offering companionship, the students left an indelible mark on both the seniors and themselves. This act of kindness exemplifies the importance of empathy and the positive impact that young individuals can have on their community. Pictured right. CCMS Student Council students spread happiness at Highland Manor during a recent BINGO night event they organized.

NUMA: Kari Bailey is a 9th-grade high school student in the teaching and training program. Last week, she introduced Alissa Bailey’s fourth-grade class to their geometry unit using the parabolic curve. Ms. Kari explained that a parabolic curve is created using only straight lines. “This was one of my favorite assignments this school year to do with the students, and I was so excited that it helped others learn math, too.” As the class moves through the geometry unit, Ms. Kari looks forward to the students connecting all their learning to the parabolic curve they've created.  Pictured below: 9th Grade student Kari Bailey from the CCHS teaching and training program teaches Alissa Bailey's 4th grade students.

ECB: Students in Jenny Mitchell and Kari Lister's classes participated in a dodgeball game last week with their teachers and District Occupational Therapist Alyssa Meihack. This was an activity to get students out of the classroom, get them moving, and have a little fun. It was an opportunity for the students to just kick back and have fun with their teachers and experience them outside of the classroom environment.

LES: Students in Crystal Cabral’s first-grade class are researching penguins. After writing an informative writing individually, students partnered up and began a shared research project on penguins. They also learned all about what their Chromebooks can do and how to use them as a tool for their schoolwork. They learned to capitalize letters, make spaces, use Google Slides, insert pictures into their projects, and how to present their projects. Pictured below, left: Students in Crystal Cabral's first-grade class working hard on their penguin research projects.

Comment author: Patti Cole Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories. The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it. Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all. An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile. For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.
