Each Advisory we will introduce a CharacterDare to be carried out over the next two weeks.
Staff will be on the lookout for students participating in CharacterDares.
They will be handing out "Pawsitive" slips to students who participate.
This week our CharacterDare is about meeting new people and creating a larger CHMS community, specifically to "Introduce someone you know to someone they don't".
This can be students or staff; have an awesome friend you think would like another friend? How about your favorite staff member? Introduce some of your favorite people to each other. Encourage your friends to participate. Together we can make an awesome and supportive community.

Reminder: No school this Friday, November 1, for Teacher Workshop Day! Let’s take a moment to be thankful for our incredible teachers and dedicated students—your hard work and passion make our schools a wonderful place!
Important Reminder: Cedar Heights will be Closed Friday, November 1st for staff workshop.
Kentridge High School will be putting on the musical Aida for their fall production.
Aida is set in Ancient Egypt and tells the story of a Nubian princess-turned-slave and an Egyptian captain who may soon inherit the throne. The two fall in love but are kept apart by their own loyalties and the prejudices of those around them.
Although the musical takes place many centuries ago, the story's theme of "love flourishing in a time of hate" is still relevant today. Because of this, the director of the production, Jennifer Grajewski, feels that it is a particularly important story for young people to hear, so she has decided to offer a special discount specifically for middle school students.
Middle school students can attend any performance of Aida for the discounted ticket price of $5. In order to receive this special discounted price, students must purchase their ticket at the door and show their current middle school ID.
Tickets purchased online will be the regular ticket price of $10 for adults and $8 for students/seniors.
