CSHS Weekly Bulletin
September 16-21, 2019
Home.
Dear Cougar Family,
It's Homecoming Week in the Cougar Nation, which has this principal waxing nostalgic. From remembering my time teaching in the 2000 hallway with only two other teachers in the hall with me, to the first night we played Consol in volleyball and football, to thinking about our reading students practicing their skills through sharing books with our students in life skills, there are thousands of memories that make CSHS "home" for me. I know each of you has your own CSHS story, so let's share those stories on Twitter this week with the hashtag: #CSHShomecoming2019
When we opened CSHS in 2012, "Home" by Phillip Phillips was at the top of the charts, and it captured so much of what it felt like as we built the foundation of our school's culture. It became the backdrop for many great Stephen Green original Cougar montages over the years, including the one below that he made for our 5 Year Anniversary Celebration. Please take a moment to watch the video this week. May it inspire you as you see our school grow from half-full at a pep rally to what we will experience celebrating together at this Friday's rally.
It's always a great day to be a Cougar, but Homecoming Week is especially great. Let us recall the students and staff that have made us great and look forward to continuing the tradition of pursuing perfection and achieving excellence during Homecoming 2019.
May you all have a week celebrating our school "home" of CSHS! As always, COUGAR PRIDE!

P.S. The September faculty meeting will be online via Schoology. It should open up on Wednesday afternoon and the activities will be due by 4:00 PM on Monday, September 23, 2019. I'll post an update on the Schoology Staff Course wall when it is ready.
School Spirit Contests THIS WEEK!
Make sure you show the Fight Song and Alma Mater videos during Advocate so the students can learn them. For teachers new to our campus, our students sing the Alma Mater after every game. It is absolutely my favorite tradition we have! Picture the pep rally with all 2100 kids swaying--so awesome!
Be creative and see how you can get kids to learn the words, so they are ready to go for the Homecoming pep rally this Friday.
Record your class creatively performing either the Alma Mater or the Fight Song and submit all entries to Mrs. Parkerson via email by Friday, September 20th. One class winner will be selected for each song to receive a pizza party. Winners will be shared via Schoology on Monday, September 23rd.
