Wolverine Weekly - November 21

From everyone at Chaparral we wish you a relaxing Thanksgiving break.

Once again, I want to say thank you to the voters of Douglas County for saying yes to 5A (our Bond initiative). Our school leaders, staff and students are so excited to have much-needed upgrades coming to their buildings. I hope you’ll take a few moments to watch these thank you videos from our schools (even Batman sent over a video with his message of gratitude). :)

Have a fantastic weekend!

The Chaparral counseling team recognized 38 students and 12 staff members for their first ever Positive Friend/Mentor Award. These amazing members of the Chap Fam were nominated by students or faculty members for their devotion to our motto of “take care of one another”. Counselors created this award to celebrate those who are supportive and inspirational and to tie in our amazing Sources of Strength program!

Each student is given a bag full of donated tools and supplies including a stethoscope, animal first-aid kit, certificate of completion, and more. Every vet encourages students to get hands-on within the rotations – checking heartbeats & soundness, listening to rumens, handling animals, and asking questions.
