Middle School Poppin' Popcorn Fundraiser!
Tomorrow is the last day to order through our Poppin' Popcorn Fundraiser! We are 90% to our goal!
The money we raise helps fund field trips, student prizes, and other fun incentives throughout the year. Even if you don’t have a middle school student, you can still support our fundraiser by ordering through the link below.
Thank you so much for your support!
Celebrating Success in Trimester 1!
Students who earned at least one full page of stamps during trimester 1 had their name written on a leaf and displayed in the hallway. Remember, students earn stamps for following our WARRIOR expections of respect, interdependence, organization, and responsibility. Way to go, Warriors! Keep up the great work!!
Promoting Positive Behavior!
67 Feathers by the 67th Day of School
Last week, we focused on organization. If a teacher entered their classroom and found all students seated with their agendas out when the bell rings, they earned a feather for that class period. Our goal was to collect 67 feathers by the 67th day of school (November 25th). We are happy to announce that we acheived our goal!! All students will attend a fun, school-wide assembly on the 25th to celebrate!
Band Boosters Craft Show
Save the Date!
The Chippewa Hills Band Boosters Craft Show is happening Saturday, December 13, from 10 AM – 3 PM at Chippewa Hills High School. This long-loved community tradition brings together 80+ incredible vendors offering wood crafts, sweet treats, glass décor, candles, soaps, jewelry, and so much more.
Come hungry! There will also be a food truck on site to keep you fueled while you browse.
