It is my hope that everyone reading this had a great Thanksgiving break with family and friends! I know I did! If you follow me on twitter @ONeilCHSPrincip you would have seen some of the laughs that I had over the holidays. I am always thankful that I get to spend time with my wonderful family back in my hometown of Hearne. I even found time to give the bad knee a workout with some great dancing. I love to dance!
Who had the opportunity to check out the wild finish in the Iron Bowl (Alabama/Auburn)? Wasn’t that crazy? It’s just another reason why I love college football! The talking has already begun about which team should play in the National Championship game. First, we must finish the season before we speculate. Second, I don’t care what anyone says. If you win out in one of the big conferences, you should go. That’s just my two cents!
One more thing-Who misses the UT/aTm Thanksgiving rivalry game? Everyone should drop their egos and bring that game back. We are all Texans!
We will hit the ground running first thing Monday morning with STAAR re-testing. The schedule is as follows:
Monday-English I Writing
Tuesday-English I Reading
Wednesday-English II Writing
Thursday-English II Reading
Week 2:
Tuesday-Algebra
Wednesday-Biology
The students who will be re-testing have been notified and should report directly to their testing rooms. Testing students will eat lunch in their testing rooms and must bring a lunch or opt for a sack lunch provided by the cafeteria.
We wish all of our students who are re-testing well! Go Tigers!
Did you know that CHS offers internet courses and minimesters for free for advanced students? Students who are in dual credit classes have the opportunity to take additional internet courses through Navarro College during each regular semester. Any student who is in dual credit or AP courses may sign up for the minimester through Navarro College. Please see Mrs. Franklin for more details.
