English I Students Perform Romeo & Juliet
English I Students Perform Romeo & Juliet
By Heidi Beguin
Mrs. Beguin’s English I class is wrapping up their final book, Romeo & Juliet by completing a number of different projects, each relating to the book. Students may choose the tasks they complete, making sure they do enough to earn up to 100 points. Some of their options are to perform an act from the play with a partner, create and perform a paper bag puppet play, draw a comic strip that shows a favorite scene from the play, create a review game, and memorize a 10-line monologue and perform it.
Currently the project completed by the most people is to create a crossword puzzle and flashcards of vocabulary from the book, followed closely by creating paper bag puppets and performing a scene with a partner.

Finish Strong!
As we near the end of first semester, I'd like to remind our students to finish strong! Here in Chadron High School we follow a block schedule, meaning that most of our classes meet for 90 minutes each day. Therefore, when the semester ends next Wednesday, our students will be finished with their classes. Our students will return to all new classes on January 4th.
There are many advantages to block scheduling. For the students, block schedule not only gives the benefits of depth of lessons and more activities and labs but it helps to transition into the college classrooms where classes end each semester. This makes this final week very important for students. Final chapter tests and projects come to an end and most classes begin studying for the big semester final exam. I strongly encourage students and parents to focus on the importance of finishing each semester strong, making sure time is spent on those missing homework assignments as well as studying for final tests.
Good luck to all of our students in their efforts to finish strong this semester. We look forward to a well deserved break to enjoy our families and friends.
As a note: We will begin dismissing high school students as early as 1:00 Wednesday, Dec 21st for winter break. Releasing students 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled 1:30 time is for special recognition of the success of our recent food drive hosted by our FBLA.

Coming Soon - CHS Lib Dub!
On Wednesday, Dec. 21, CHS will film our first ever lip dub!
What's a lip dub? The term "lip dubbing" was first coined in 2006 and is a type of video that combines lip synching and audio dubbing to make a music video. Many schools have used a lip dub to promote school pride and to show the many activities that take place within the school. The trick to filming a lip dub is that there in only one non-stop recording from beginning to end, so once 'record' is pressed, the camera will walk throughout the school as students and staff representing the many clubs and activities, lip sync to a song.
Our lip dub is being organized by teacher, Jill Paopao and her Performing Arts classes. The CHS student body voted to use the song, Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO. We plan to film from 10:00-11:30 Wednesday morning with the hopes of returning after lunch to watch the video before dismissing for break.
If all goes well, the video will be hosted online so families and friends can view the lip dub during the holiday break.

Newspaper Article On Our Aging Building
Recently, The Chadron Record staff writer, Kerri Rempp spent a couple hours touring our school interviewing staff and students on the condition of our high school building. For many years our ceilings have leaked rain water and condensation from an aging HVAC system. Chadron High School was constructed in 1968 and most of the infrastructure like heating, air conditioning, and lighting is the original to the building. For many years, it has been a repeated cycle of patching the roof and replacing ceiling tiles. Next spring we hope to renew a bond that would provide the funds to finally put an end to our leaks and to provide an updated, more efficient heating and air conditioning system that would give our students and staff a warm, safe, and dry environment in which to work and learn.
