I NEVER SAW ANOTHER BUTTERFLY
ORCHESTRA CONCERT
The CHS Chamber and Symphonic Orchestras performed beautifully in the CCA last week. Concert highlights included Symphonic Orchestra’s performance of Meyer’s Dia De Los Muertos, and Chamber Orchestra’s performance of Mozart’s Serenade in G Major.
CONSTITUTION DAY
The Close-Up Club and Social Studies Council celebrated Constitution Day during both lunches on Thursday, September 17th.
PATRIOTISM QUILT
Mr. Walter Murray’s Social Studies students recently completed a Patriotism Quilt project. Students were instructed on making "half-square triangles" used in quilt making and then created a quilt block that told "An American Story." Students wrote essays which told their stories and explained the symbolism in their blocks. One student stated, "Having the opportunity to create is fun, and having the freedom to create what we want and not be restricted was great."
SPIRITLINE TOY DRIVE
CHS Spiritline is sponsoring a toy drive for Phoenix Children's Hospital during September for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Please support this great cause by dropping off new toys and/or blankets to the front office or students’ homerooms.
CUSD BOND FACTS: DID YOU KNOW?
Chandler Unified is one of only nine districts to earn the “A” grade in all four years of the state’s letter grade accountability program. In addition, all five high schools, ACP-Erie, Basha, Chandler, Hamilton and Perry earned an “A” grade. Chandler Unified has also been identified as the No. 1 school district in Arizona for the second year in a row based on data from 2015 Niche rankings.
For additional information, visit the district website.
Following the 2012 elections, Arizona ranked 45th in the nation for voter turnout. To combat this startling statistic, O’Connor House, the legacy project of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, has launched a new voter engagement initiative, The Great Voter Challenge. Register to vote here.
“Roughly half of Arizona voters actually vote and that’s frightening. I hope that we can encourage every citizen to register and vote. It’s so important, and Arizona can do better on that score.” - Justice Sandra Day O’Connor
In order to vote in the November election, you must register by October 5, 2015. Ballots will be mailed on October 8, 2015. Election Day is November 3, 2015.
