CHS Teams Wins 3rd Place in State 'Find Your Genius' Challenge

Congratulations to Blaine Tewahade, Chris Rolfsmeier, Thomas Kaus and Blake Hinman who placed 3rd in the state in the Find Your Genius Challenge!

 

The “Find Your Genius Challenge” is a state-wide contest over a 7-day period competing through virtual internships.  These students partnered with Goodwill of Nebraska and Symphony Workforce to devise a service or product which helps alleviate the emotional or mental distress young people regularly face. These students developed a website that provided a two-fold solution: 1.) It  focused on educating students to recognize signs of distress not only in themselves but also recognizing it in others. 2.) Once recognized, methods to alleviate stress and/or how to seek help. Students worked with advisors from Goodwill of Nebraska and local mental health professionals. Their work was recognized by Symphony Workforce and earned them the 3rd place award.

Lauren Collins Named USSYP Alternate

Lauren Collins

Congratulations to CHS Senior, Lauren Collins!

Lauren was selected as the Nebraska alternate for the United States Senate Youth Program (USSYP)! The scholarship program is highly competitive. In addition to outstanding leadership abilities and a strong commitment to public service, students rank academically in the top one percent of their state. They continue to excel and develop qualities that are often directed toward public service. As an alternate, should one of the two Nebraska delegates be unable to attend Washington Week, Lauren would become a delegate. Student delegates will visit Capitol Hill, the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department, the Supreme Court and other historic sites in Washington. They will meet with the highest-level officials in the three branches of government. In addition, a $10,000 scholarship is awarded to each delegate.

The United States Senate Youth Program was created “to increase young Americans’ understanding of the interrelationship of the three branches of government, the caliber and responsibilities of federally elected and appointed officials, and the vital importance of democratic decision making not only for America but for people around the world.” USSYP is sponsored by the Senate and fully funded by The Hearst Foundations.

Cardinal Counseling 5 Bullet Friday for Dec. 6th

WELCOME TO 5 BULLET FRIDAY! The Chadron High School Cardinal Counseling Department is excited to share our 5 Bullet Friday Newsletter for the 2019-20 school year!  Each week we will be providing readers with five facts, tips or tricks to help make the school year a success academically, emotionally, and socially!  If you do not wish to receive this email feel free to UNSUBSCRIBE using the button located at the bottom of this email. 1. Have You Listened to the Suicide Awareness and Prevention Podcast with Over 2K Views?! If you haven't checked it out this interview with Amy Carnahan is FIRE.  Download on iTunes or watch on Facebook NOW! Amy Carnahan became very passionate about suicide prevention, advocacy, and post-vention for suicide loss survivors after the loss of her cousin.  Listen as we share our own stories of loss and working with students, as well as ways our community is leading the charge in suicide prevention training opportunities. 2. Cardinal Cast: View from the Sidelines:  Truths About Officiating & Coaching HS Athletics Listen to Mr. Mack and Mrs. Watson tell stories about their own experiences coaching and officiating.  Hear why goodie bags are not the top of Mrs. Watsons love list, and why we think you should thank a coach, official, and ESPECIALLY and most importantly a coaches spouse.   Check us out on iTunes and make sure you hit SUBSCRIBE!  We'd LOVE to have your feedback, Subscribe, Rate and Review, on iTunes! 3. From Worry to Winning: Tools to Help Kids Reclaim Superpowers and Beat Anxiety You probably don’t need statistics from the American Psychological Association to tell you that anxiety in our kids is on the rise. You see it in your kids, hear about it from friends, or you see it in your classroom. The reason for the increase is likely complex but ground-breaking research continues and eventually will help us find more targeted solutions. Until then, you and your kids need tools to help manage their daily worries so they don’t miss out on the experiences that help them grow and learn. The tips offered in this workbook are designed as a supplement to a support system, not as a replacement for professional care. We recommend families work together with a trained therapist and consistently practice using the tools offered here and in therapy. See the FULL PDF and workbook from Melrobbins.com HERE!!  4.
