Drew Hallowell will be entering his
Recycling Program in the Teen Read Week
Competition. This school wide program was
started Oct. 5, 2015. Mrs. Smiths Third Graders are helping with recycling milk bottles and
other plastics in the school lunch room at breakfast and at lunchtime.

Nikki Kepford CCHS Reading Club Historian and his committee

made a CCS Staff Our Lineage Bulletin Board and Student Passports
Nikki set up a Cultural World Map Bulletin Board Display. Staff pictures have been
mounted around the edges. Each staff member
has listed the names of the countries from which
their families originated. Most of the staff originated from Europe but we do have some American Indian decedents and a few from Central
America and South America. Nikki and his committee then mounted international flags showing
staff country origins on the world map and by the
staff members pictures. Then the committee ran
red yarn from the staff members picture to the
country of origin on the world map. The bulletin
board has been a great sample of American Immigration.
Nikki Kepford is making Elementary Students Passports. These passports will have a
flag from the country that they learn facts about and will be stamped during the school
year as they come to the library for their weekly library classes. He is entering his Passport project and his Cultural Bulletin Board into the Idaho Teen Read Week Competition.
