Yesterday, the CHS Basic Earth Science class had the opportunity to learn about time zones in a fun and meaningful way!

Two people from different parts of the world joined the class on Google Meet and allowed the students to ask questions about their locations, daily lives, and what it is like to live in a different time zone.

A special thank you to Karen Stewart in the Philippines and Liz Shobe (CHS graduate) in Germany for taking time out of their evening to speak with the class. We appreciate you sharing your time and experiences with the students and helping bring the lesson to life!

Next Friday (10/16), CHS is celebrating National Opossum Day, and CHS's Animal Care Club will be accepting donations for the Possum Passel Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Bridgeport, IL. All donations may be dropped off at the high school.

Opossums are an overlooked part of our ecosystem that play a vital role. Not only do they eat ticks (that transmit diseases), but they rarely get rabies due to their low body temperature,they are resistant to venomous snakes, and they are our only marsupial in North America!
