CSHS Weekly Bulletin
April 29-May 5, 2019
Time for a Pep Talk!
Dear Cougar Family,
I keep thinking about the saying, "The years are short, but they days are long." How could we already be staring into the face of the last month of school?
This week is a busy one, so I am not going to post a long message. Instead, I encourage you to watch this video from Kid President (it's an oldie but goodie) to get you pumped up for the week!
Trae will transition to his new role as Principal at Normangee High School this week as well. We will have some admin subs to help during the month of May, but for the most part Chris, Kim, Patty, and I will be powering through on the admin side. They will maintain their current alphas and add these additional letters:
- Southard: A-E + S
- Rodgers: F-L + T-V
- Ayala: M-R + W-Z
In addition, please make sure you have read through the entire bulletin, so you don't miss out on important information! In addition, you can check your prom duty sign up at this link.
May you all have a peppy week!
As always, COUGAR PRIDE!

Jeans Week to Benefit CSHS UIL Going to State: THIS WEEK!
CityWide PTO's School's Out Food Drive Advocate Contest
Please remind your advocate class that the City Wide PTO Food Drive begins on Monday. We will be awarding a pizza party to the class that brings the most donations (per student) and ice cream treats for second and third places. We prefer monetary donations but will accept non-perishable food items, too.
Thank you!
Dori Evans
PTO President
Decision Day for the Class of 2019
Students will have the opportunity to share their news for life after high school by posting a sign on the wall outside of the library on Wednesday, May 1st that will stay up through the end of the year. They can pose in front of a backdrop to commemorate the moment and post pics with #CSHSdecisionday19.
Students may come to participate during lunch OR advocate. If you send students during advocate, please either escort your class or send Seniors with a pass! Mrs. Rodgers will be there to facilitate the event.
To share the info with your classes on Monday and Tuesday, use this link to download the graphic seen below.
Walk of Champions
A student who got to walk last week told a teacher, "This is the greatest day of my life!" Every walk is special for the group of students who gets to participate.
To schedule the Walk of Champions to commemorate state and national level competition with 2 or more rounds of qualifying competition (state or nationals is at least the 3rd round--varies based on sport or activity), please contact Kim Rodgers.
Outdoor Classroom
The Layout is flexible! Check out this slideshow for inspiration as to how you might use the space with your classes.
To reserve the classroom, go to the CSHS Outdoor Classroom Calendar. Make an all-day reservation and include teacher name and periods of use. (ex. Parkerson 3,4,5).
Not convinced working outside has any impact on learning? Check out this article on the subject.

Please also remember that Saturday, May 25, 2019 is a teacher work day.
