Students on stage during their “Wizard of Oz” production.

CCHS

Ashley Adams' Greenwave Drama students wrapped up their "The Wizard of Oz" production on Saturday, December 14. The cast featured grades 6-12 students from CCHS, CCMS, Oasis Academy, Veritas, and even a few home-schooled students. With only 11 weeks to prepare, students put on an outstanding performance. "I had one parent tell me that their student is usually very shy, and it has been amazing to see them acting, singing, and dancing on stage," Adams said. She explained many parents were happy with the growth their students experienced by being a part of the production. "They are proud of the work they accomplished on and off stage to make this show a success, and they should be. They did such an excellent job."

CCMS

The eighth-grade boys' basketball team brought home the Sagebrush League Championship on December 10, defeating Fernley in the first game. They went head-to-head with Yerington in the championship, and after being down by 15 points at halftime, CCMS made an incredible comeback and won by three points.

Numa

Last week, Numa students worked hard during testing to show off what they learned this year. Teacher Heidi Emke held brain breaks to help students stay motivated and energized. They worked together to build structures that would stand on their own using toothpicks, paper cups, and marshmallows. Students also made festive Christmas scarves. "I love using brain breaks during testing weeks to give students a chance to reset," said Emke, who believes it is important during testing days to prevent burnout and give students time to socialize and move around a bit

Students in Kristina Russell's class learned about character traits and then designed snowflakes, describing how they are one of a kind. In math, students learned about fact families and created their own Fact Family trees. "The students were not only engaged in the material being taught, they also got in the holiday spirit, which was fun to see," Russell said.

The holiday season is in full swing in Debbie Swisher's class. Students worked on a pet reindeer project, writing stories about their pet reindeer and then creating reindeer representations. They also made candy cane ornaments using beads, pipe cleaners, and chenille stems. "There is lots of holiday fun going on in our classroom right now. We are staying engaged, learning, and having a good time," Swisher said.

From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
