CHS LIBRARY
UPDATE
CHS Parents - as you know,
we have been under construction for some time now but things are shaping up!
However, students still do not have
computer access or the ability to print in the library so if
your student has a project due and your home computer is not working, please
make plans to take them to the public library or Kinko's for printing.
9th graders are
busy working on their research projects on Immigration. A number of those books
that were on reserve in the CHS library belong to CSHS, and at least 8 of them
are missing. Please check your student's
room and backpacks for these books - frantic students inadvertently pick up
books because they need them, and do not bring them back. Since they did not
originate in our library, we will need to reimburse the Senior High library if
they are not returned here. The total cost is about $200. Any CISD books on
Immigration or Illegal Immigration need to be immediately returned to the CHS
library.
We are still in the
process of renovating and expanding our library to make it a really functional
and attractive place for our students. We appreciate your patience through this
construction phrase. Questions? Contact Bonnie
Wilson, CHS Librarian, at WilsonB@cisdmail.com

Sophomores
& NHS
All eligible sophomores (with GPA of 93 or higher) should have
received a letter in the mail this week, from Becci Rollins, the CHS National
Honor Society Advisor, with details on the induction process for current 10th
grade students. The letter explains that in order to be inducted into NHS, the
10th grade student must attend a mandatory information meeting,
either this Tuesday, Feb. 26th at 7:30 am, or
Wednesday,
Feb 27th at 3:30 pm. If the student is unable to attend, a parent can
come in their place.
At this meeting, students will learn exactly what steps need to be taken in
order to become a member of the Carroll National Honor Society. If you have
any questions, contact Becci Rollins RollinsR@cisdmail.com

COURSE TO
CONSIDER in 2008/2009
Need a PE or
Fines Arts credit next semester? Take
DANCE!
Dance I and Drill Team
Prep
classes are offered at CHS as a PE or Fine Arts credit. Explore different dance genres, learn
choreography, work on your own choreography skills, get a good work out, and have fun dancing with your peers! No prerequisites required!! Males and females
welcome. If you have any questions,
email Christie Kamerman at kamermac@cisdmail.com

Beware of
Imitations
WARNING: Independent Honor Societies Are Out There -
Know Before You Sign Up!
The
sponsors of the Carroll Chapter of the National Honor Society have noticed an
increased number of mailings going out to Southlake students and their parents
from independent companies offering what seem very much like a simple
registration for our NHS campus-based organization. These mailings do NOT represent the National
Honor Society, but seem to offer recognition and rewards in return for a $45
membership fee. Though this may be a
viable option for your child to gain the recognition he or she deserves, be aware of what you are signing
into when you agree to join with a simple membership fee. Unless your child has
been inducted formally at a ceremony in CISD, they are probably NOT a member of
NHS.

Health
Care Professionals Needed
The
Carroll Medical Academy is currently seeking professionals from all areas of
health care interested in participating in the annual CMA Career Fair. This year the career fair is scheduled for
7:30 -11:30 am, Thursday, April 3, and will be held in the CSHS
Library. The fair will begin with a
complimentary continental breakfast for all, from 7:30 - 8:00, sponsored by
Invest Financial and catered by Jason's Deli.
Students will then visit with the various professionals from 8:30 -
11:30. All CMA students, grades 9 - 12,
will participate in this annual event.
The goal is to provide information on various career options and allow
CMA students time to interact with professionals many fields. Last year 35 representatives covering a wide
range array of career choices provided one-on-one student interaction. This is an outstanding learning experience
for the students and a wonderful outreach and teaching opportunity for our local
professionals.
If
you are in a medically related field and would like to be a presenter during our
Career day please contact Sherry Martin at martinsh@cisdmail.com.
For more information on the Carroll Medical Academy,
