December 20

CMITN539 / December 20, 2024

As we approach the end of 2024, I want to reflect on the incredible achievements and activities that have made this month so memorable.

We are thrilled to announce that CMIT North High School has received the Project 2024 quarterly Community Service Champion Award! This prestigious recognition highlights the dedication and hard work of our counseling, teachers, parents, and administrative teams in supporting our students' reaching their maximum potential. Thank you for being such an integral part of our student’s success.

This month, we established an exciting new partnership with the Naval Nuclear Engineering Program. Representatives from the program visited our school to meet with our students, sharing insights into engineering careers and inspiring the next generation of innovators.

Additionally, our Career Day was a huge success. Students had the chance to engage with professionals from various fields, exploring the vast array of opportunities awaiting them. Events like these are crucial in helping our students envision their futures and set ambitious goals.

December has been packed with festive activities. From our Winter Fun Spirit Week to other holiday-themed events, our school community has come together to celebrate and create lasting memories. These moments of joy and connection are what make CMIT North so special.

We have also started the process to receive Cognia accreditation and National STEM Certification. These prestigious recognitions will help our school be acknowledged nationally for its high standards and commitment to excellence in education.

As we head into the winter break, I encourage all our students to take this time to relax, recharge, and enjoy the company of their loved ones. It’s essential to rest and prepare for the challenges ahead.

When we return in January, we will hit the ground running with a busy schedule, including preparations for standardized testing and other academic milestones. I am confident that, with the support of our dedicated staff and families, our students will rise to the occasion and continue to excel.

Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. Wishing you all a joyful holiday season and a prosperous New Year!

Gonul Ozturk, M.Ed

Principal

As the year comes to an end, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible progress we’ve made together. Your hard work and dedication across all our programs and partnerships have been invaluable, and I deeply appreciate your commitment.

While many will enjoy a well-deserved holiday break, some teams will continue their important work:

• The Debate Team will have their tournament this Saturday, December 21 at Francis Education Campus, 2425 N St NW, Washington DC 20037 while the Forensic Mock Trial will hold mock practice sessions with their PGCPS volunteer lawyer. Their dedication sets an excellent example for us all.

  
  

• The STEM Team will have ambassadors and candidates on campus dedicating the required hours to prepare for their building projects, ensuring they are ready to excel. Even before the school reopens on January 6, 2025, Team Illusion will take a significant working during the winter break season in our school and will step forward by attending the 2025 FIRST Robotics Competition REEFSCAPE Kickoff on January 4 at Capitol Technology University in Laurel, MD, officially launching their exciting new competition season.

As we celebrate our achievements and look forward to the new year, I encourage everyone to take time to reflect and recharge. For those continuing through the break, your perseverance is inspiring, and I’m confident your efforts will lead to outstanding results.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a New Year filled with success and fulfillment. Thank you for being an essential part of this amazing team! __ Dr. Clarke, Program Coordinator - STEM

The Wellness Club began meeting with our students Friday, November 15th offering yoga and meditation to improve focus and concentration for our students. Each session has been attended by at least 5 participants with some being more consistent than others. We truly appreciate the commitment parents and students are demonstrating to improve their health and wellness. While the Wellness Club is an inclusive group that has been offered to the whole school, we have focused on students who have demonstrated academic challenges and who may need to improve their focus in an effort to improve academically.

This past week, we were able to have our boys basketball team join in person and our girls basketball team join virtually. This is an exciting prospect to bring wellness practice to our students at CMIT. It has been wonderful to see our students participate in wellness and 7self-affirming positive practices. Looking forward to seeing more students join in the upcoming Wellness Club sessions.

Report on Health Class Activities

Students in the Health class are diving into impactful topics as they tackle the War On Drugs. Each student is tasked with creating a presentation using structured resources to build a compelling argument on drug abuse, its impact on communities, and preventative measures. This project encourages students to engage deeply with real-world issues, fostering critical thinking and communication skills essential for addressing such a complex crisis.

Coriolis Effect Activity in Ms. de Guzman's Class

Ms. de Guzman’s class explored the Coriolis Effect through a hands-on activity using balloons and markers. Students labeled the poles and equator on the balloons to represent Earth, then drew straight lines while spinning them to observe how Earth's rotation causes deflection, simulating global wind and ocean currents.

This engaging activity helped students understand the Coriolis Effect’s impact on weather patterns, such as hurricanes and trade winds. Through discussions, they connected their observations to real-world applications like weather forecasting.

Students enjoyed the creative approach, which made complex concepts easier to grasp, and Ms. de Guzman plans to incorporate similar activities into future lessons.
