Last Friday, the IB Chem, Bio, Physics, Comp Sci, and Environmental Systems students worked in multi-disciplinary groups to carry out an activity that incorporated all sciences.

The lion is not the smartest, the fastest, or the tallest, BUT he takes risks and believes he can do things. Mr. Esparza also encourages students to dress professionally as they plan for success. Thank you, Mr. Esparza!

IB SHADOW DAYS
CORE VALUE HIGHLIGHT
CHS is an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School. The aim of all IB programs is to develop internationally-minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world.
IB learners are “Risk-takers”: They approach unfamiliar situations and uncertainty with courage and forethought, and have the independence of spirit to explore new roles, ideas and strategies. They are brave and articulate in defending their beliefs.
AP FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
AP students: Are you a student who is not on free/reduced lunch status and looking for financial assistance to help pay for your AP tests in May?
Remember to get a form from Mrs. Baumann in the counseling department. The deadline is November 16th.
TAX CREDIT DONATION
Arizona law ARS 43-1089.01 enables taxpayers a tax credit contribution of up to $400.00 per calendar year if filing status is Married, filing Joint Return; $200.00 per calendar year if filing status is Single or Head of Household; and, $200.00 per calendar year if filing status is Married filing separate return — for contributions that fund extracurricular activities in public schools.
