CHE Update for 10/21

By -
Another terrific week for CHE is wrapping up today. Without a doubt the highlight of my week is to see the many smiling faces and dancing students in the morning. They come to school with life and an excitement for life. As we make our way towards November, I know our staff is thankful for you sharing your terrific kids with us everyday. Thank you!

Highlights for the week include seeing students learn about those serving our local community by making owl boxes for local ranches and open space areas. Students learned about why community service is valuable, about local owls, and about the purpose of the owl boxes. Also, Ms. Wilcox and her 5th grade students participated in a http://www.breakoutedu.com/ game yesterday. The game requires students to critically think, collaborate, be creative, and communicate in order to solve clues and to break thru several locks in 45 minutes or less. A great activity for our students!

Some important announcements and things to remember:

1. Trunk or Treat: Trunk or Treat is tonight starting at 6 p.m. and lasting no later than 7:30. Some students were confused about wearing costumes. Students are absolutely allowed and encouraged to wear costumes tonight. Our school chorus will be performing tonight and we look forward to seeing everyone!

2. Red Ribbon Week is coming up: We have several activities planned for students next week and are excited to celebrate positive, healthy choice making for our students. Each student will get a red wrist band and we are asking they sport the band all week! 

3. Canned Food Drive: We are collecting non-perishable food items to donate to Mission Solano for the winter season. Please bring in any non-perishables you would like to donate and drop them off in the main office. We appreciate your kindness. I know we can fill our boxes several times!

4. Halloween and Halloween Parade:  CHE has a tradition of celebrating Halloween and this year we continue. We will host a parade on Monday, October 31st. The parade will start around 8:25 (after 5 minute PE). Classes will start on the blacktop and will parade (2x) thru the amphitheater/quad area. We ask that parents sit in the amphitheater seating. They can take video or photos from that area. Students are to wear school appropriate costumes (no masks, no blood, no weapons, and we ask that the avoid having clown costumes this year). Also, the library is open for students who do not celebrate Halloween or do not wish to participate in the event.

CHE update for 10/7

By -
Yesterday, as I was leaving school, a few of our students were waiting outside for a ride. The girls stay after school to participate in a program called Girls on the Run. They had wrapped up the activities for the afternoon and were headed home. These girls exuded confidence, strength, and life. Talking with these girls in that moment made me so proud to be here at CHE and to be a partner with you in raising some AMAZING young students. A few of my closest co-workers from across Fairfield-Suisun Unified have joined to get moving this October. We have challenged each other to 100 miles (walk/run), 100 minutes of plank, and 100 minutes of meditation. We are calling it #movetober. We welcome anyone in our school community to join us and encourage you to post your work on social media with the hashtag #movetober. Anyways, enough blabbering from me. Some important announcements: 1. Students of the month : Today, we celebrate our 48 September Students of the Month. We are focusing on ...
