BETWEEN NOW AND DECEMBER 22, I WILL BE CONTACTING FAMILIES DIRECTLY WHO HAVE NOT YET ORDERED THE CAP AND GOWN UNIT. I AM HAPPY TO HELP WITH ORDERING. LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO HELP!!

Cap and Gown Orders:

Cap and gown ordering information has been given to seniors, emailed to families and shared via school social media. There are many Jostens products available: the cap and gown package (must purchase), announcements/thank you notes (optional), clothing (optional), class ring and other jewelry (optional).

There are three ways to place an order:

1. online at jostens.com

2. mailing the order form and payment

3. calling 1.800.JOSTENS

If you are ONLY ordering the cap and gown unit, you do not have to pay the $11.95 handling fee indicated on the order form. Cap and gown units can also be ordered without any money down.

If you are ordering other items with the cap and gown unit OR one of the packages, please include the handling fee when calculating the total cost. A deposit of at least $75 must be paid as well.

Cap and gown units and any stationery products will be delivered to the school. Clothing and jewelry will be delivered to your house.

Please try to place your orders before December 31. After that the cost of the cap and gown unit will increase.

If you have any questions or concerns about any of these activities, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. France at france.bernadette@ccpsstaff.org.

November 2022

Nate Berg is the Student-of-the-Month for the Class of 2026! Nate was nominated by Mrs. Moore and Ms. Mitchell for working to obtain his goals and going above and beyond. His teachers say that “Nate has done an amazing job of participating in class and showing his understanding of math.” So far, Nate’s favorite teacher at CRHS has been Ms. Delano because “she is nice and she helps me with my work. She always answers any questions I ask and she reminds me that I am able to do anything.” Nate had a lot to say about what it means to be Colonel TOUGH: “Being TOUGH is being a respectful classmate. I try to help the people in my classes as much as I can. The most important part of TOUGH is the G, going above and beyond. I think it's important because if you want to achieve your goals you have to try harder than you think you can.” In the future, he says he wants to be a farmer but is “still deciding.” FUN FACT: Nate is really good at playing video games!

Domnique Caven is the Student-of-the-Month for the Class of 2025! Mr. Shaheen nominated Domnique because he consistently goes above and beyond and treats others with respect. Mr. Shaheen says “Each day in Strength and Conditioning, he goes above and beyond to perfect his technique and increase his strength. From there, he goes straight to Health where he works diligently on his assignments both individually and with his peers.” In his first one-and-a-half years of high school, Domnique’s favorite teacher has been Mrs.Dennis because “she is always helping students out with problems they are having no matter what because she is a great person.” At this point, Domnique wants to go to college for engineering. To him, the most important part of being tough is treating others with respect because “if you want someone’s respect you have to respect others.” FUN FACT: Domnique hopes to play football after high school at the “next level!”

Frankie Aguiar is the Student-of-the-Month for the Class of 2024! Frankie was nominated by Mrs. Bee for going above and beyond. When asked about Frankie, Mrs. Bee says: “Frankie consistently sets an example worth following. She is a conscientious student who had zero missing assignments for the first quarter. Frankie is passionate about her beliefs and is unapologetically herself. She is an absolute pleasure to have in class.” According to Frankie, Mrs. Bee is the best teacher. When asked to elaborate, she said: “Mrs. Bee is the nicest person and also makes class simple and fun.” After Colonel, Frankie would love to attend Boston University with a psychology degree and a minor in a foreign language. For Frankie, being Colonel TOUGH means being “ a good-hearted human being.” The most important aspect is understanding diversity because “every person is different and that shouldn't mean we should treat each other any differently.” FUN FACT: Frankie collects vinyl records!

Cameron Clendaniel is the Student-of-the-Month for the Class of 2023! Cam was nominated by Ms. Kinlock for obtaining goals and going above and beyond in English 12. Ms. Kinlock says “Cameron went above and beyond to write his summative essay for our second unit and turn it in on time. He also actively participated both in an introductory improv for Macbeth and in reading the part of Macbeth during our discussion of Act I. Thank you for holding yourself to your own high expectations and for participating actively in class.” Cameron’s favorite classes have been with Mr. Cheezum because he “gets to learn about things I care about.” For Cam, being TOUGH means setting goals and then working to obtain them. In the future, he would like to pursue a career in the culinary arts and music. FUN FACT: Sometimes Cameron writes music!
