CCFFA celebrated their new Ag teachers, Ryann Kulbeth and Brittany Pimental, on National Teach Ag Day last week. “Agriculture Education and FFA make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education,” Kulbeth said. Pimental agreed and added, “Ag Ed prepares students for further education, self-employment, entry-level jobs…and provide[s] leadership to build healthy local communities, a strong nation, and a sustainable world.” As a member of CCFFA, I speak for all of us when I say we are lucky to have such passionate educators teaching us and guiding us along the way. Thank you for all you do. Pictured right (L to R) CCHS FFA teachers Ryann Kulbeth and Brittany Pimental.

Lucas Koenig is working hard with CCMS student musicians on band practice. He delivers strong instruction, clear skill set mastery, and musical knowledge. All this is laced with humor, providing a class of varied musical instruments and creating an environment built upon proper feedback. Seeing our teachers pour their passion into their students is so refreshing. Koenig is one of the many who makes learning fun and inspiring for students here at CCMS. See main photo above.
Numa
Friday, September 20, was PJammin for Cancer Day at Numa. Students and staff could donate any amount to wear their pajamas to school. The $1,246.96 collected will be donated to Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation. Numa school Counselor Noreen Swenson plays a big part in organizing this event annually. Swenson's daughter, Sara, was diagnosed with bone cancer in 2009. “Supporting the organizations that do so much for families of children with cancer is dear to my heart, so I feel blessed to help…continue this fundraising event in our school district each year,” said Swenson.

E.C. Best
Very Important Bulldog (VIB) is part of E.C. Best's Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) plan. Each week, teachers choose one student who follows the four B's: Be kind, Be safe, Be responsible, Be respectful. Then, that student gets to choose one person to be a VIB with them for the day. They are line leaders, get to be the first students in line at lunch, and they get to eat at a special table in the lunchroom.

Students in Kirby Goetsch’s class celebrated International Dot Day. IDD is usually celebrated around September 15; this year, it was the 15th anniversary of Dot Day. Students read "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds and spent the afternoon creating dot artwork using tempura paint, paint dabbers and circle cutouts, watercolors, dot stickers, and tissue paper. They also made dots with crayons, pencils, and paper cutouts.
