Dear Families:

This Week’s Spotlight

Community service is central to the values of the school district and as such is a CCHS graduation requirement.  The service is supported by a group of community members who form the 2Volunteer Board.  The 2021 2Volunteer Annual Report was recently shared with the Regional School Committee.  It is so impressive the number of hours our students dedicated to helping others.  Our students often have hours well beyond those required for graduation.

Our students also often take initiative and act when they see ways to help.  This was recently the case when CCHS Senior Will Kulewitz decided the neglected skatepark on the CCHS campus needed cleaning and updating.  He collaborated with a number of friends and then solicited help via social media.  For the past number of weekends, approximately 20 students have been diligently clearing out the trash and brush, power washing, and soon will be painting over the graffiti.  The Joint School Committees were able to meet with Will and CCHS student Joshua White in October.

I encourage you to watch the beginning of the October 26, 2021, Joint School Committee meeting where Will gives an update on his efforts.  The recording of the meeting is posted here.

Middle School Building Project

We are in the final stages of schematic design for the middle school building project.  I would encourage you to peruse the webpage and the many documents and details that are there: https://www.cmsbuildingproject.org.

The website also include links to social media and other ways to stay informed.

The COVID Dashboard will be updated throughout the week.

Best,

Laurie
