May is Mental Health Awareness and Prevention Month. Did you know that mental health impacts our physical well-being and our ability to focus and learn in the classroom? While mental health is always a priority, these past couple of years have been especially difficult so it is more important than ever to care for ourselves and support others. During the month of May, we are encouraging all staff and students to wear green for Wellness Wednesdays. In addition to wearing green, we have shared our May Prevention calendar, provided by Twin Counties Recovery Services Inc. This calendar suggests healthy activities and coping strategies to help create a healthy mindset. Remember that everyone matters, your story matters and reach out if you need support! #mentalhealthmatters

Over the break, our IT team installed dozens of Promethean Boards in CDE classrooms. These interactive whiteboards are one of the newest innovations in instructional technology and they easily integrate with the Google Chromebooks and apps already used by faculty and students, making it easier for teachers to display and interact with content. The District used federal funds from the American Rescue Plan to purchase more than 80 Promethean Boards, which will be installed in almost every classroom in the district by September.

Members of the CDHS Interact Club donated $500 to help Cairo Rotary purchase a “shelter box” for refugees from Ukraine. The shelter box will provide a tent-like shelter for 15-20 individuals and it includes essential supplies such as a water filtration system and blankets. Students Natalie McGuire and Jessica Baeckmann sold baked goods to help raise funds for this humanitarian effort. Although the CDHS Interact Club usually focuses its community service efforts on local needs, McGuire shared that it also provides opportunities to offer assistance in other places where people need help.

Students taking a math Topics class with Ms. Ivino embraced a project that combined mathematics with architecture and physics. First, they researched different types of bridges then created a blueprint to construct their own structures. Ms. Ivino’s Topics class crosses curriculums and focuses on the interdisciplinary study of math. We love to see the collaboration!
