TEAMS COMPETITION
Chandler High took three teams to the TEAMS (Test of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics and Science) competition at ASU Polytechnic Campus before spring break. Students were divided into groups of 8 and had three tasks: 1) write an essay on how to adapt a building in the community to make it more energy efficient; 2) answer 80 multiple choice questions involving math, science, and engineering prompts; and 3) build a tower out of straws, pipe cleaners, and paper clips. They were charged with building the tallest tower, in the shortest time, which could hold a tennis ball. After the first day of scoring, one of CHS’s teams placed FIRST!
ASU LANGUAGE FAIR
CHS World Language students competed in the ASU International Language Fair in March. CHS’s German program, led by Frau Mello, won 1st place in the German Novice Prepared Recitation and 1st in the German Intermediate Known Play. Additionally, Dr. Foerst’s and Mme Bejarano’s French students competed in the French Novice Prepared Recitation and French Intermediate Student Created Play; we are awaiting the rest of the contest results.

2018 CHS TEACHER OF THE YEAR NOMINATION FORM
It is time to formally recognize great teachers by nominating them for the 2018 CHS Teacher of the Year (TOY) Award! Nominations will be taken through Friday, April 6th. The CHS TOY criteria aligns with the Arizona Educational Foundation’s (AEF) Teacher of the Year criteria, and ultimately, the CHS TOY will submit the AEF TOY application to be in the running for Arizona Teacher of the Year. Two years ago, Ms. Lori Lyford, CHS Choir Director, was named an Arizona Top 5 Teacher/Ambassador of Excellence.
If you would like to recognize a staff member who does not meet all of the criteria, please do so. Although he/she will not be in the running for AEF Teacher of the Year, CHS wants to acknowledge him/her.
You can nominate a teacher using the google form.
Thanks for helping us recognize all of Chandler High’s terrific teachers! The CHS TOY will be announced later this spring.
AVID CELEBRATION
Current CHS AVID freshmen visited Andersen Junior High to deliver goodies to incoming freshmen accepted into the AVID program for the 2018-19 school year. We can’t wait to see what our future Wolves accomplish through the college prep program!
FFA CELEBRATES DR. SEUSS
Chandler FFA visited 50 elementary schools the week before intersession to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Students learned about Cattle Production with “Mr. Brown Can Moo,” dissecting seeds with the “Oh Say Can you Seed,” and how bees communicate with “Show Me the Honey.” Pictured is Chandra Andazola at Galveston Elementary School.
DISABILITIES AWARENESS WEEK WRAP-UP
Chandler High celebrated Disabilities Awareness Week before intersession with spirit days and lunch time activities. Among other things, Best Buddies decorated the courtyard, students dressed as superheroes and strived to “Be Someone’s Hero”, and students signed the pledge to end the “R” word. Thanks to Best Buddies for planning a great week of celebrating our differences!
SPRING ORCHESTRA CONCERT
CHS’s Spring Orchestra Concert featured the Symphonic and Chamber Orchestras as well as the Chamber Septet. It was a terrific concert with music ranging from Mozart’s/Hoffman’s Amadeus! To Holst’s Finale (The Dargason). Well done, Wolves!

AVID MOCK INTERVIEWS
Students in our 9th grade AVID program spent 2 weeks learning about how to prepare for a successful interview. They ended the unit by participating in mock interviews. They learned about professional dress, proper speech and body language, and how to shake hands and introduce themselves. They even selected students that “got the job” for having the best interview performance in their group.
COIN DRIVE
On March 6th, CHS held a one minute coin drive to support the Colton Cowell Foundation in raising money to expand The Bat Cave, where children with terminal illnesses can go to forget about their illness for a day. The Foundation has deep ties to Chandler and Chandler High School. Our School Resource Officer, Chris Keipert, coordinated the coin drive and said he could not have done it without the awesome help from Mr. Gray and CHS’s Student Council. Students and staff raised $1,151.21. An email received from Colton's mother, Erika Cowell, said it all: "Thank you SO much for doing the coin drive at CHS again this year! Those kiddos did amazing. That helped push our total to over $10,000 as a whole. You're amazing!"
MODAZZ AND DISNEY
Modazz experienced two great Disney workshops over spring break- a hip hop class and an audition class. The teachers were amazing, and the both the students and Mrs. Buren left with a feeling of “I can do anything!” The students had a great time at the beach and at the parks, and many laughs and memories were made on this trip. Check out Modazz, Advanced, and Improv at the “In All Directions” concert on April 12th.
PROM
Student Council is proud to present this year’s Prom, The Great Gatsby, on Saturday, April 14th, from 8:00-11:00 pm at Villa Sienna in Gilbert. Tickets are now on sale for $55. The price will increase on April 10th. Also, any CHS student who is not a junior or senior, along with non-CHS students, must have a guest pass turned in to Mrs. Templeton’s office by Friday, April 6th. Guest passes can be found in the bookstore and at the receptionist desk.
STUDENT IDENTIFICATION CARDS

If students do not have an ID on them, one will be printed, and a $5.00 replacement fee will be posted to their student account.
