Student Announcements for Wednesday, Feb. 24th

Good morning! 



Come out and help CHS celebrate CAUSE-Community Advocating Unity, Success, and Equity- at our annual CommUnity Dinner TODAY!,  February 24 from 6-8 pm.  This is a free and catered event that will be dedicated to our beloved Fred Lockwood and break out forum sessions on various topics that effect the CHS community.  Please join us...remember "Change begins with Unity, and Unity begins with YOU!"


The Winter Sports Awards Program is on Thursday Feb. 25 at 7:00 pm in the Auditorium.  We will honor our winter athletes with special recognition: coaches' awards, all-conference recipients, captains and varsity athletes earning letters.  Please dress business casual. Photos will be taken.


Do you walk or bike to school?  Are you interested in local government?  The Town of Carrboro needs a high school student for its Safe Route to Schools Committee.  The committee’s goal is to increase the safety and convenience of walking or biking to school.  The committee will meet four times per year, with the first meeting coming up in March.  Visit the Town of Carrboro website or contact Mr Cottrell for more info.


Online Registration for Spring Sports will closed on Monday Feb. 29.   Some sports rosters have been finalized.


There is a mandatory Registration Meeting in the auditorium for sophomore students today during Smart Lunch!  Sophomore students whose last names begin with A-M should attend during lunch A.  Sophomore students whose last names begin with N-Z should attend during lunch B.  Contact Ms. Sholomon with questions.

If you are interested in singing in an honors choir next year, see Ms. Johnson in C-111 for audition materials. Auditions are closed and only take 10 minutes!




The 5K Run/Walk for Education is March 19. Compared to the other high schools, CHS is behind in the number of participants, but we are close to catching Chapel Hill. The next 100 teachers, students or administrators to sign up will get a t-shirt like the one Mr. Barrett is wearing today. Google "5K for Education Carrboro" to find the website, and please indicate your association with CHS.

Good morning Carrboro High School, my name is Monroe Clayton. February is Black History Month. Throughout this month, we will honor a new generation of black leaders and black poets on the announcements. Each day, we will celebrate the legacy of black Americans through either the reading of a poem or of a brief bio of an inspirational black figure.
