CAUGHT BEING AWESOME!!!!
· In your boxes you will find cards that say “Caught Being Awesome” on white cardstock… make sure you give one of these to the student when they go above and beyond at displaying characteristics of an awesome miner.
· In the conference room are the “Caught Being Awesome” sticks which students hold when they take the selfie for the selfie wall.
· Please send the “Selfie” picture to Tammy Redmond via email (instead of texting the picture to her)! Make sure you include in the email the Students’ Name & Homeroom Teacher!!!
Important Campaigns
Concord Wears Gold: Money wars will go until Sept 23. CORE teachers – each team will receive a bucket tomorrow (Friday). We are asking for 1 teacher PER TEAM (or pod in 8th) to be the team captain, willing to count money every day or two. We want to make announcements every 2-3 days building up competition between teams!! Last year, Mrs. York walked around to Homerooms every few days to collect the change. The BIG money bucket will be housed in the Media Center.

Classroom Grant Available!
The Cabarrus County Education Foundation (CCEF) is excited to kick off the 2016-2017 Classroom Mini-Grant Program.
Grants are awarded to teachers annually for up to $500 for classroom projects that identify special opportunities encompassing innovation, creativity, sustainability, and alignment with Cabarrus County School goals and curriculum standards. Some of this year’s recipients created an outdoor learning lab, explored Chinese paper cutting, held staff development training, built robotics into their curriculum, introduced stability balls, and even held a Resume Day that brought companies in to meet with students not attending college.
The Classroom Mini-Grant application is attached and will be due by October 11, 2016. It is also available on our website at www.ccefnc.org.
