Kicks-For-Cancer
We are incredibly excited to announce that we exceeded our ambitious 2016
Kicks-for -Cancer fundraising target of $50,000. Thanks to the incredible community support, the total amount raised, which we will donate to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, is $58,485!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to the generosity of time and spirit of so many the event was a remarkable success. While we don't know what next year will bring, we hope you'll be there again to raise funds for a cause so close to home.
"Lets get a little bit Rowdy. R-O-W-D-Y", a chant fans and parents will be hearing at sports games more often this school year thanks to CCHS's first school spirit team, the Rowdies.
The team was introduced this week to students via email and Facebook, and sign-ups will close on Wednesday, November 9th. A forerunner for the new team, senior Grace Challenger, believes Rowdies have the potential to start a lasting tradition- one that boosts student morale and bonds classmates.
Students in the team engage in anything from designing t-shirts, hosting events, going to games, and making videos to energize fellow students. Time will tell whether the team has the impact it intends, but with its already growing popularity and support, it seems the Rowdies were just what students were looking for.

Delegation from Japan
The delegation from our Japanese sister school in Nanae completed their week-long visit on Wednesday 11/2. Japanese students took part in classes, played dodge ball with their CC counterparts and practiced with the concert band, visited the North Bridge and Walden Pond, and, of course, showed us all how to dance like squids at our annual sister-city potluck.
Thanks so much to all the host families, and everyone else who helped make the visit a success! A special thank you to David Nurenberg. David's hard work and effort made this endeavor a raving success. We are grateful!
