Announcements for December 8, 2023

• CHS students and staff ...Wellness Week is almost here! The CHS Wellness Youth Council and All-In Coalition have organized a week of stress-reduction and self-care activities for students as they gear up for finals, finish end-of-semester projects, and prepare for Winter Break. Wellness Week will take place during lunch and Greyhound Time, Monday December 11 through Friday December 15th. Some of the highlights will include the Duo Dogs, making your own herbal tea, and some self-care giveaways! Also, every day next week there will be board games in the Commons, music during passing periods, and recess in Stuber Gym. Come check it out, relax, and enjoy yourself!

• "Want to clear out your closet and support Clayton's Speech & Debate team? The team is holding a clothing drive fundraiser during the month of December. When cleaning out for the holidays, collect gently used clothing with no rips or stains and other soft goods such as sheets/bedding, towels, jackets, and shoes. Place donations in trash bags and bring them to the bin outside of the studio, room 45, in the CTE hallway. The Speech & Debate team will receive 20 cents for every pound donated, and the goods will be resold at Savers, a thrift store dedicated to fashion sustainability. Please bring all donations before the end of the school day on Tuesday December 19."

• Calling all girls soccer players! We will have a meeting on Dec. 13th after school in Room 29. The meeting is for those curious about trying out, and for returning players. The meeting should only take about 20 minutes.

• Greyhounds: after school detention is being offered on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for the remainder of first semester. Detention will be in room 75 - the ISS room. You must arrive by 3:10 and will be released at 4:30. There will be no after school detention the week of finals. Thank you.

• Hey CHS! This week marks our annual Coaches vs Cancer basketball games for both our girls and boys teams! To get pumped up for the games, STUCO is sponsoring a PINK OUT on Friday! You'll be able to purchase a pink Coaches vs. Cancer t-shirt outside the athletic office during Greyhound Time on Friday for $10 - wear it to the game and get in for free! Don't worry - we'll also be selling the shirts at the game too! See you Friday!
