Principal's Message
What a game this past Friday night! The varsity beat Klein Forest 48-44! Congratulations to them as well as both of our freshman football teams for their victories this past week! They have one more game next week at Oak Ridge before they head into off-season!
Thank you to Mrs. Causey and our CHS9 Student Council for providing us with a "Happy Halloweenies" luncheon this past Wednesday! A special thanks to Audrey for always going to Sam's to purchase the food and supplies needed for our luncheons! It was also very nice of Mrs. Causey for purchasing the cake to celebrate Ms. Lauren Hartman's wedding. Lauren St. Lawrence has a nice ring! Also, in the hallway right after 4th period on Wednesday a student came up to me all excited and asked; "If I had heard yet?" When I responded; "heard what?" She said; "Mrs. Deavours is pregnant!" I confirmed it during our luncheon. Congratulations to the Deavours! What a special spring break gift! In the picture below you must look at Mrs. Thompson's reaction to Ali telling her she is 20 weeks pregnant! Not really but I loved the expression! Luv ya Libra! I hope y'all are enjoying the Food Truck Fridays! The"Texan Grilled Cheese" sandwich with sweet potato chips was delicious!
We now have just two weeks left before Thanksgiving Break! Mr. Solberg shared that the Leo Club, 9-12 grade, voted on hosting a food drive before Thanksgiving to be donated to the Montgomery County Food Bank. This will be a competition between teachers with prizes for the top teachers. As soon as I get the details from him on Monday we will share the details with everyone. Food collection will begin on Wednesday, November 7th.
This week we will facilitate our "Fall" Instructional Rounds. Thank you for your participation! These rounds will lead to the development of our "on campus" professional development for January 7th. With this Wednesday being the first Wednesday of the month we will be having our CHS9 PLC meeting. This month's PLC meeting will be facilitated by Ms. Goffney and titled; "Relating to All". Friday of this week we will also have another set of district personal visiting our campus to conduct learning walks. They always love coming to our campus to feel the positive energy you have created and seeing the engaging instruction that is taking place in your classrooms!
Friday, as one of our students was walking to the front to go home I asked her; How has your year been so far? She answered; "Great!" I then asked her; What makes it so great?" and she answered; "Her Teachers!" Thank you for your intentional efforts that make a difference in the lives of our students! The student was Ms. Harvey!
I hope you have enjoyed another beautiful weekend! I love the newsletter quote! It is a reminder to me of what an honor it is to work with and for you all!
Happy Monday!
Bryan Gorka
