It's not too late to sign up! Let's make November a month of reading!

The CHMS Library is inviting students to participate in its November Reading Incentive Program.

The goal is simple: read for at least 20 minutes each day and earn prizes along the way!

Don't forget to pick up a reading bookmark from your ELA teacher or from the MRC. Simply read outside of school for at least 20 minute each day and track your reading by coloring in a section of a bookmark that corresponds to each day of November.

7th and 8th grade boys’ basketball tryouts are coming soon!

🗓️ Monday Nov. 16, Tuesday Nov. 17, and Wednesday Nov. 18

🕞 3:30pm - 5:00pm

📍 CHMS Gym

All interested students must attend at least one day of tryouts to be considered for the team. While attending only one day is the minimum requirement, we strongly recommend and encourage attendance all days. Attending all sessions will give the boys the best opportunity to showcase their  skills and abilities. Cuts can be made at any time. Skills they will be evaluated on include, but are not limited to, passing, ball handling, shooting -  including form, shot accuracy and shot selection -  rebounding, defense, attitude, sportsmanship, overall game play and knowledge of the game as well as effort.  

Please remember that in order to try out, students must have a completed physical on file with Mary Youngman, the school nurse.

If you have any questions, please contact the coaches:

• 7th grade coach - Mike Jensen - mjensen@d181.org
• 8th grade coach - Mike Piper - mpiper@d181.org

Hope to see you on the court! 🏀
