The PA will host a book discussion group for parents on March 22nd at 7:00 p.m. in the CCHS Library, with Assistant Principal Alan Weinstein moderating. The book we will discuss is "Too Much of a Good Thing: Raising Children of Character in an Indulgent Age" by Dan Kindlon. Please try to read the book before the event but feel free to come to discuss the topic even if you haven't had a chance to complete the book.

All members of the CCHS community on the email system should have received a document about the budget process for Concord Public Schools which was written for "The Willard Watch" (elementary school newsletter).  This document provides clear, comprehensive information which can help in understanding the budget process with regard to the Concord Public Schools.  Thanks to Janet Rhodes Friedman, the author and a Willard parent for her hard work and for sharing this with the CCHS community.  We hope to be able to provide additional information about the budget process for the regional high school at a future date.  While this information may not be directly relevant to Carlisle residents, it was sent to all on the system as we do not differentiate between Concord and Carlisle families on the email list.
