CHARITY MONTH SURVEY!

     It was amazing to see your incredible efforts during this year’s Charity Month. We achieved our most successful year ever, raising over $170,000 for Utah Foster Care.
     Thank you and your classes for your GREAT work. Class collections alone brought in over $28,000!
     This amount shows the generosity and effort and support you inspire in your students.
     We drew from the top 3 classes for each day and will be  delivering Kneaders Breakfast to…
Hansen, Oram and Thorne’s classes on Friday. 
     While it’s still fresh in your minds, if you could fill out this quick survey about class collections/charity month, that would be great.

Thank you again for all your help.
Stud. Gov.

Winter Break

    It's the time of year where everyone, not just students, is tired. Physically you’re at the office, school, etc., but mentally you’re in a far away land where money isn’t real and assignments are lit on fire and then stomped on. Yes, it’s December.
     Even I, a winter D1 hater, likes December because of the holidays and blah blah blah, but mainly for the holiday recess. For about two weeks, you are free. Free. Let it settle in. What will students be doing to celebrate their temporary freedom?
     “I don’t know, might roast chestnuts on an open fire.” says junior Zoe Soucy. Wow, how Christmas-avant-garde.
     “Hopefully nothing.” says junior Chelsea Nelson. I also hope to do nothing except what I want to do. I hope nobody expects anything of me because they will be disappointed.
     “I would really like to go ice skating with my friends, if we can actually figure out a time. Besides that, have my Christmas party, play Jackbox, and prepare for next semester.” says senior Madi Richardson. I personally will be using her for her Jackbox.
     “Kidnapped.” says senior Kenna Gibbons. Okay.
     “I think I'll probably just be with my family and relax.” says senior Gavin Woodbury. That’s probably the most normal answer so far.
     “I don’t know, I want to see my friends though.” says senior Kurt Amuraltai. Me too.
     “Enjoy not being at school.” says senior Owen Harline. That echoes throughout the halls. Not saying CC isn’t the best school ever, if you're reading this Principal Kohler.
     In case you were wondering, the Kardashians have decorated their trees and posted them on Instagram, but that’s all the details I have for now. Maybe Adam Sandler will sing the Hanukkah Song? Too Short’s version works too. That would be a real treat.
     Charger Nation, this winter break shall help us all recuperate and prepare for the new year upon us. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc., enjoy the holidays and reflect on the gifts this year has brought us. Like the Costco Guys and that image of a dolphin jumping out of the sea into a sky of rainbows.

National Holidays

     Right now, we’re in the golden part of fall/winter: it’s not too cold, the leaves are still transforming on the trees, there are plenty of school breaks, and of course, the holidays.
     After January 1st, I would say it’s just a fight to not feel too miserable in the midst of frozen sidewalks and sitting in complete darkness at 4 PM. But, I digress, we’re not there yet.
     We all know the typical holidays this time of year (does Christmas ring a bell?) but not many know about the national holidays. Have you ever celebrated National Raisin Bran Day on November 15th?
    I garnered this information from the site nationaltoday.com, so if you’re a national holiday lover and are appalled by the holidays I list, check out the site and celebrate something like National Butter Day.
    As of today, the 25th of November, one holiday is National Shopping Reminder Day. Of course, we Americans need reminders to shop; consumerism does not run our minds like the Bubonic Plague, obviously.
    On Thanksgiving day, the 28th, we also have Turkey-free Thanksgiving Day, which I guess is what I celebrate, being a non-meat eater. We also have National Family Health History Day, so while you eat your Thanksgiving meal you can reflect on how heart disease runs in your family.
    On December 2nd, we have National Skip School Day. Well, twist my arm! Just kidding Principal Kohler.
    On December 14th, we have National Monkey Day. This is a very exciting day for me, being a passionate monkey enthusiast. I remember when I told someone my favorite animal is monkeys and they said, “Isn’t that a bit narcissistic?” I have never recovered from that.
    Also on December 14th, we have National Martyred Intellectuals Day. I’m glad there’s something to commemorate me. When you see me, make sure to pay your respects.
    Lastly, on December 30th, we have National Resolution Planning Day, so you can ponder about all the commitments you’ll make that you’ll stick to for approximately four days.
    These are only a few of the wonderful national holidays in the U of S.A.; there’s always something to celebrate!
