2012 CHS SENIOR CALENDAR

You are invited to CHS Science Night at the Museum on Tuesday, January 31, from 6:00pm-7:30pm! All parents and students are welcome to attend this FREE, hands-on event. Students will be able to participate in activities such as heart rate testing, dissections, puzzles, and games. All elementary students will receive a certification of participation to take back to their teachers. High school science fair projects will also be on display.

Come join us for the first annual Night at the Museum at CHS!

Taking the Advanced Placement exams is an important part of all AP courses. Coppell High School desires that all students take AP exams for the AP classes that they have taken. Scoring well on an AP exam can often earn students college credit for their high school class, saving a significant amount on tuition.

2012 CHS SENIOR CALENDAR

January 2012 Calendar

As most of you know by now, Mrs. DeLana Attaway, a CMSN language arts teacher and wife of Dick Attaway, a CMSE math teacher, was diagnosed with brain cancer shortly before Christmas. She had surgery to remove the tumor and now has a long process of rehabilitation and treatment ahead of her. She is making wonderful progress in therapy and will be coming home this weekend. A Caring Bridge site has been set up to let people keep up with her progress.

In addition, a donation account for Mrs. Attaway has been set up at Wells Fargo. All anyone needs to do is walk into any branch across the country and say they want to deposit money into the “DeLana Attaway Donation Fund.” Funds donated will help defray the enormous and ongoing costs of her treatment.

North is also selling blue bracelets in the front office for $5. The bracelets donations will go into her fund as well, and help keep her in our hearts.

EVERY STUDENT IN COPPELL DESERVES THE CHANCE TO REACH HIS OR HER FULL POTENTIAL.

The Coppell Education Foundation is proud to be the leading nonprofit organization in Coppell that is helping to bridge the educational funding gaps that our schools are challenged by each and every day. We do this meaningful work by generating and distributing resources in the form of grants that are innovative, motivational and educational.

Now more than ever, the Coppell Education Foundation needs YOUR participation in our annual RED and Black campaign. Together the Foundation and the community must work together to ensure our Coppell schools remain excellent. Your support of the Coppell Education Foundation will help create the momentum necessary to reach out and successfully capture increased corporate funding.

Please help as you are able, but please give something. The amount is not as important as YOUR participation! Remember Year End Giving! Hurry campaign ends 12/31/2011
