1 mylar balloon and 3 latex balloons for $4.50The Rotary Club is sponsoring an exchange student, Xavier Ledesma, from Portoviejo, Ecuador. He arrived on August 16, is 17 (turns 18 on September 2), enjoys theater and camping (and has been a camp guide). He is in youth related Rotary groups in his home town and served as president of one of those groups, Interact, for one year. He attends a Catholic high school in Portoviejo and has one year of school yet to complete there.
The Corvallis Rotary will provide the host family with a small stipend as well as great support throughout the year. Typically the student stays with three host families during the year: August to Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving to spring break; or spring break to June. You can choose your segment! Any CHS family (including teachers) who are interested in being a host family for a three-month period, please contact M. Sue Mariner at msmariner1@comcast.net or 754-6464.

The Philomath Community Library is pleased to sponsor a Chautauqua presentation by quilt historian, Mary Bywater Cross, entitled "The Ties that Bind: Quilts of Community". This free, public program will take place on Saturday, September 27, 2003, at 2:00 PM at the Philomath Community Library, 1050 Applegate, Philomath, Oregon.
Once delegated to the realm of quaint handicrafts, quilts are now recognized by historians as valuable visual social records of women's contributions that were often overlooked in official histories and traditional documents. Beginning after the initial pioneer settlement in the 1870's and moving to the present, quilt historian and author, Mary Bywater Cross will illustrate how women drew their communities together through quilting for one of four primary purposes: raising funds for programs and organizations; creating tributes to individuals who supported and guided a group or community; commemorating cultural, social, or economic events; and attending to the utilitarian necessities for warmth and social interaction.
Ms. Cross will illustrate her discussion with slides of contemporary and historic community-based quilts, using the maker's documentation to help participants develop an awareness of the many roles that quilts play in communities. They are artifacts that connect the diverse geography, history, and culture of the Pacific Northwest.
Ms. Cross's free, public presentation is made possible by funding from the Oregon Council for the Humanities, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. OCH is dedicated to providing opportunities for life-long learning in communities throughout Oregon. For more information about the program, please contact the Philomath Community Library at 541-929-3016. [home] [top]
Have you always
wanted to see Paris in the spring? There is still time to sign up for the
"Grand Tour of France", led by CHS French teacher, Mary Langlois. This
two-week trip explores the history and culture of France. We travel from the
historic beaches of Normandy to the Roman ruins of Provence. You will visit the
castles of the Loire Valley, the French Riviera, the Alps and more. This is an
excellent opportunity to learn about France and European history in the places
it happened. This tour is available to students and adults, but you will need to
sign up soon. Contact mary.langlois@corvallis.k12.or.us
for details.
The 509J Internet Policy defines both the purpose of providing internet access in our schools and the responsibilities of staff and students. View the policy at: http://www2.corvallis.k12.or.us
Parents who wish to DENY their child access to the internet must complete an Exceptions Denial Form to prohibit use. These forms are available in the school office.
If you do not want your child to be contacted by the military you must inform CHS in writing. Send your request to Cindy Gulledge, Corvallis High School, 835 NW 11th Street, Corvallis, OR 97330.
The only way recruiters receive information from CHS is through the directory. CHS is required by law to provide military recruiters access to the directory. Parents must make the choice between being included in the directory or not. A written request that the student’s information not be released to military recruiters will result in the student not being included in the directory. If a student is called after this request is made, it is because recruiters got the information elsewhere.
An Albertsons “partner’s card” lets you donate 5% of purchases to CHS (up to $1800 per quarter). The cards are available in Beyond CHS and the main office. When you purchase groceries at Albertsons, just hand the clerk your partner’s card to scan. It's that simple to support students at CHS.
Ø Returning students who owe fees or textbooks from last year must clear them before registration in order to get new textbooks.
Ø Help the lines move quickly by having everything ready. You will need your ID card and your schedule.
Ø Put your name in your books as soon as you get them. It will help you keep track of your books and reduce difficulties at the end of the semester.
Gift idea: Spartan wear for sale!
The Spart Mart, the Student Store, and Gift Shop are businesses operated by the CHS Small Business Management class for the benefit of the school. The students learn how to operate a business, and at the end of the year, profits generated from student business ventures are used to support CHS athletics. The Student Store operates a snack bar during morning breaks, as well as concessions during athletic events.
The Spart Mart, located in Room 101, offers a fine line of “Spartan wear” – sweat pants, sweatshirts (hooded or not), t-shirts, denim shirts, lanyards, hats, socks, and other items – for sale. Merchandise is available at some home athletic events. If you wish to purchase any of the Spart Mart’s fine items at other times contact Ron Sather or ask in the main office.
