Update ~ November 19 & 20, 2018

CELEBRATING SUCCESS...
How about that Lip dub? Congratulations to the talented digital media student crew and to Jeremy Gemetta, Daniel Vidales and leading actor, Bryce Brothers.  This year's Lip Dup surpassed all expectations and should be up for an Oscar soon, great job!

MORE CELEBRATIONS...
Over the weekend our CHS FCCLA members participated in leadership and career connection workshops and networked with FCCLA members from across the country. They also participated in a community service project creating dream catchers for terminally ill patients. In the skills demonstration events, all of our students landed in the top 3 of their division.  Congratulations to CHS students Mackenzie Atkins, Adeline Travis, Cheyenne Eyrich, Emily Blink and Anisa Ayala and their teacher Laura Locke.

DID YOU KNOW?...
There is scientific proof that being grateful is plain good for you.  Scientists studying positive psychology found that a one-time act of thoughtful gratitude produced an immediate 10% increase in happiness and 35% reduction in depressive symptoms.  Every act of gratitude counts, and it can be as small as saying thank you or telling someone important how much they mean to you. Happify Daily Blog Post

Sooooo, with Thanksgiving a few short days away I wanted to let you all know how important you are to me.  I am so grateful to be the principal of this amazing school.  Without you, Coconino wouldn't be the special school that it is. I am grateful for your willingness to come to school every day to meet the ups and downs of our work, for caring about each other and our students. I am sincerely thankful each day that I get to work with such inspiring, caring, creative and wonderful people. To you all, I send a heartfelt thank you and happy Thanksgiving. 

STUDENTS REACT TO BEING TOLD THEY ARE IMPORTANT...
