STUDENTS COMPETE AT DESALES SHAKESPEARE COMPETITION
On Saturday, March 4th, CCHS students competed once again in the DeSales University annual Shakespeare Competition. Although we could not participate in the showcase due to the conflict with our spring musical, Aidan McDonald, who performed the iconic "To be or not be...." soliloquy from Hamlet was awarded scholarship money because of the excellence of his portrayal. DeSales has already accepted Aidan into the Theatre Department and has offered him a scholarship. We are so proud of Aidan and Ethan Alger who performed a monologue as Romeo, and Jake Weismer and Megan Hulsey who performed a scene from The Tempest. Our Shakespeare Troupe will present additional monologues and scenes at our annual Shakespeare Festival on
April 25th
and again at the Arts Weekend in May.

THE IRISH PARTY
SATURDAY, MARCH 18

11th grade parents are reminded that all Juniors need a physical exam. If your child had a physical that's under one year old, please have a physical form completed by your doctor based on that physical. If your child hasn't had a recent physical, please schedule an appointment. If a student returned a current sports physical, he/she does not need an additional 11th grade physical. Physical forms are available in the nurse's office and on the school website under "Athletics." The same form is used whether or not your child plays a sport. Please return completed forms as soon as possible and call the nurse with any questions.
