Principal’s Summary:
November was a big month at Circle Cross Ranch! We hosted our first fall festival on November 21st and sold 14,500 tickets! It was unbelievable! Our halls, cafeteria and gym were packed with students and parents! Each grade level hosted a booth or game, and clubs sponsored games as well. Our student council hosted hay rides and the rock wall. P.T.O. hosted food and almost sold out! The tickets that each grade and club collected equaled money that they can use for future field trips or other activities of their choice. At the end of the night, our school profits totaled $3,627! We had parents and staff comment that this was the biggest event that they had ever seen at CCR.
Our P.T.O. hosted a very successful cookie dough fundraiser last month and profited close to $8,000. Some of the profits will go toward paying for one bus per grade level for a field trip, 10 new bulletin boards, a 36” paper cutter for the school, two portable marquee banners, personalized table cloths for awards assemblies, and new recess equipment for students.
Student Council sponsored their annual Thanksgiving dinner food drive and our students collected enough food to provide a Thanksgiving dinner for 19 additional families other than what Project Bridge could provide. We have a very energetic student body and they are very active in community service projects. We applaud their efforts and thank Mrs. Stanfel and Ms. Querry for organizing this activity.
We are preparing for the second round of district benchmark tests this month as well. Teachers have been implementing a portion of the Spalding program by introducing phonograms to the students. This phonics based method is supporting the students’ ability to decode words and understand letter/sound recognition. Mrs. Stavely has been conducting follow-up support for teachers that would like to be observed or have the process modeled for them. Spalding kits and phonogram cards have been purchased for each grade level to help teachers. Mr. Solberg and Mrs. Stavely will be conducting another Spalding training to introduce the spelling process before winter break.
We had a strong soccer season, with both boys and girls teams looking like they are contenders for a good showing in the playoffs and championships. Some strong athletes put themselves out there to represent our school. Our coaches, Jessica DeVinck for the girls and Edgar Ramirez for the boys, have invested a lot of time in the teamsand the development of their athletes.
Last, two of our talented teachers, Mr. Brian Hughes and Mrs. Jocelyn Virtudes, have applied for two different grants for our school. First, Mrs. Virtudes has applied for a science grant with STEM. It involves our students sponsoring a science experiment going up into outer space. Mr. Hughes applied for a $1000 grant with the Pinal County Attorney’s Office for support with our character counts program at CCR, including our REWIND Program for students who receive OCS. The funding will support curriculum materials for teachers to use with these students. We are hopeful that both grants are funded, and will keep the Board posted on the outcome.
