On Saturday, November 9th, Savana Douthit and Brooklynn Clerk placed 6th place at the Parsons Novice Debate Tournament with a record of 2-3.

On Friday, Nov. 8, CMHS 8th and 9th graders were treated to a live performance of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Through a program called Shakespeare to Schools, ICC's theater department was able to bring the Shakespeare production to CMHS so students could experience the classic tragedy first-hand. There was also a Q & A session after the production where students were able to ask questions and give feedback to the cast and crew, which included CMHS alum Lauren Hugo. Since the freshmen are currently studying the play, this was a unique opportunity for them to see their schoolwork come to life in the real world.

Tonight we will recognize all Senior football players before the game. Seniors and families need to be lined up on the track in alphabetical order no later than 6:30 for a ceremony beginning promptly at 6:30 p.m. Let's fill the stands as the Chargers take on Fredonia tonight at their last home appearance of the season. Go Chargers!
