AARP of Kentucky asked fifth grade students to write an essay explaining why their grandparent should be chosen Grandparent of the Year. CCMS staff voted on the top seven and awarded first place to Caroline Simmons. Other winners include Waylon Beach, Ryann Stewart, Jaxon Routon, Ava Saggus, Aria Edmonson and Bryleigh Westrick.
The CCMS classes with the highest growth on their math i-Ready test were treated to circus games, cotton candy, a sucker and prizes. Games were run with the help of teachers, administrators and the WEB Leaders. (More photos on the district Facebook page.)

The Kentucky Department of Education is seeking feedback as it searches for a new Commissioner of Education. The process should take about five minutes to complete.
It is important for all communities to have a voice in the selection process.
Feedback can be submitted through the Kentucky educators and administrators survey https://survey.k12insight.com/survey1.aspx?k=RQsQRSRUTsSsPsPsP&lang=0 or the Kentucky education stakeholder survey https://survey.k12insight.com/survey1.aspx?k=RQsQRSRUTsQsPsPsP&lang=0. The education stakeholder survey, which also is available in Spanish, is intended for use by families, community members, business owners and others with a stake in Kentucky’s public education system.
The Three Rivers District Health Department provided emergency bags to elementary students recently. The bags include items such as a flashlight, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a magnet with emergency numbers. Thank you to our community partner for this generous donation!

Juniors! Do you want to some help with your ACT? Sign up for the Super Saturday Sessions!
The Super Saturday sessions aim to help students feel more comfortable and confident tackling the ACT. These sessions allow students to work one-on-one or in small groups with content experts to help expand their understanding of English, Math, Reading, or Science. Super Saturdays also allow students to work on non-content issues like test anxiety and navigating timed tests. While priority registration is given to juniors, it is open to any student scheduled to take the ACT in the spring.
Here is the link for students (or their parents) to sign-up: https://forms.gle/cz2QS9bCLNgzoDVy9

Kendall Clifford welcomed her CCHS students back with a team-building activity called Portrait Gallery. Students worked with their shoulder partners to create a portrait of the person across from them, but there's a twist. Students had to work with their partners to draw the portraits. Students rotated their piece of paper every 15 seconds with the person beside them. Neither student got to do the majority of the work and they had to figure out what their strengths were to better help their partner.
