Cunha Intermediate School

Through a series of games, activities, group discussions, icebreakers and trust-building exercises, Challenge Day helps young people learn to connect, increase self-esteem, shift peer pressure, and reduce the acceptability of teasing, oppression, and all forms of violence. Participants leave the experience with new levels of respect and communication with their peers, teachers, parents, community and themselves. The event can accommodate up to 100 7th and 8th graders, but the actual number of students invited will depend on the amount of adults that volunteer due to the strict 4:1 student to adult ratio. If you would like your child to participate, please contact their counselor for a permission slip.

Adult Participants Needed For Cunha Challenge Day

25 adult participants are needed. Must be committed for the day 8:30 am-3:45pm. All adults in the community are welcome to volunteer. Please RSVP below if you are able to volunteer.

We are so excited to have our very own cheerleaders at Cunha this year! These students have been working hard to perfect their cheers to support Cunha Athletics. Look for them at a basketball game in the upcoming season.

Please have your child join us for FREE after-school tutoring in the library three days a week! Whether they are stuck on a tough math problem, need help with an essay, or just want a quiet place to focus, we're here for them.

What's Available:

• Certified staff ready to help with any subject
• Chromebooks available for student use
• A calm, focused environment to get their work done

No sign-up needed – just drop in! Stop by the library on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and let's make homework time a little easier.

Attend regularly to earn incentive prizes! Students should see Mr. Bechar for a punch card.

Congratulations to our Volleyball All-Stars!
