An update on the CHS Musical Big Board! A few more options came off the list today, and this is where the upcoming reveal stands at the moment.
A bit of spare change has added up to make a big difference for some local animals seeking a new home. Mrs. Malenowski's third grade IFA reading group at McConnellsville Elementary School is pleased to announce that they have raised an impressive $825.19 from this year's "Pennies for Puppies, Coins for Kitties" initiative!
During this event, the third graders in the group challenge their fellow students to bring in as much spare change from home as possible to support the animals at the Rome Humane Society. This year, the fundraiser ran from October 22nd until November 4th.
While supporting a good cause, the students learn a lot about communication skills, leadership, and setting goals. In this case, the students set an original goal of $350.00, and with the help of their peers, they quickly surged past that number. The group then decided to challenge themselves even further by aiming for more than $750.00, and they smashed that mark as well!
Thanks to all who stepped up to support this effort!
Election Day is a great day for students to learn how the process works, such as in Mrs. Riegler's Kindergarten Class! The class listened to the audiobook of "Duck for President", then cast their votes for either Duck or Farmer Brown in the voting booth!

Someone get Todd Gordon '87 on the line..... We've got ourselves a driver!
They say to measure twice, and cut once. While you're at it, make something you can use over and over again.
All of these things are true for students in Camden High School's Materials Processing I classes! They have been designing, constructing, and finishing these cutting boards to take home and put to good use in the kitchen. Along the way, they're mastering valuable woodworking basics that can help in home or business applications!
