CONSTRUCTION DOESN'T STOP THIS SPIRIT TEAM!
Thank you SPIRIT TEAM for an AWESOME turnout this morning!
Small acts of kindness mean so much😁.
A Family Feast!
A group of WCHS students shared a feast today, which they helped to create. The students invited their parents to the high school to partake of potatoes, stuffing, ham, turkey, and all the trimmings. One thing they all have in common is sharing love and Thanksgiving with their families and teachers.
What makes the meal even more special is that the students helped to prepare it in their foods and nutrition class, “Every classroom was in charge of something”, says Intensive Resource Teacher Nikki Purdue. “While this meal is delicious it gives the students a sense of purpose in being able to provide it for their families. She says many of these are families that just want to be included. CPCSC has 5 teachers in this high school level of service which has 51 students this year.
Marlin Jackson Speaks!
Former Colt's corner and Super Bowl champ, Marlin Jackson, spoke to students at the CP Academy today. He talked about coming out of the projects in a single parent home but stated he let negatives motivate him not make him a victim. He played for 6 years.

Famous Author Visits CPMS!
Author Dan Gemeinhart is doing presentations to each grade level at Clark-Pleasant Middle School today and tomorrow. Gemeinhart, who lives in Washington State with his wife and three daughters has written several books including Scar Island, Good Dog and The Honest Truth.
He told 6th grade students at a forum, this afternoon, that he wrote 7 different books before getting his first book published. He reminded students not to talk about writing but to actually do the work. The author is a former elementary teacher and librarian says quote, "I'm really pretty darn happy."
Understanding Supply & Demand!
Econ students at WCHS are learning what it's like to be an entrepreneur this week during the annual Econ Mall project. Students must come up with their own business idea, decide on a partner, figure out a product to sell and then hope for the best.
Some students sold donuts, cookies, pulled pork, tamales, cake pops and some just pop. Each business team is giving a cost production sheet to figure out their cost verses what they can sell the product for to create a profit margin. If they're products sold out they have to figure out how much more they could have made if they had more inventory and if the product didn't sell they had to figure out why.
Some students learned they had to lower their prices when items weren't selling while others raised their prices due to brisk sales. The best part of this project is that the students get to keep the cash from their profits.
