to Europe this April are running a tag sale as a fund raiser to help defray
some of the cost of the trip. Student Volunteers will be at the High School
to accept items from dismissal time until 7 p.m.  Please tell your
neighbors, friends, and relatives about this opportunity to donate their
unwanted treasures to a good cause. We are unable to accept used computers,
large appliances, upholstered furniture, and mattresses. Please come to the
Tag Sale on Saturday, December 4, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. For further

+++++ DANCE CLUB PERFORMANCE TONIGHT +++++

Student-choreographed dance pieces will be featured when the CCHS Dance Club
presents "A Choreographer's Workshop" tonight at 7:30 p.m., in the CCHS
auditorium. The performance will include a wide range of dance styles from
ballet to jazz to hip-hop. The student choreographers started working on
their dances in September and have been rehearsing the student dancers since
mid-October. Seniors Laura Belkner, Meaghan Riley, and Samantha Stern,
juniors Kim Bowen and Kristen Lawson, and sophomores Laura Stiffler and
Katrina Walker have choreographed five dance pieces between them, and Ms.
Dora Golding (this year's Dance Club teacher as well as an English teacher
at CCHS), has choreographed two, for the group of 22 dancers who will
perform in the show. Come support the CCHS Dance Club and see the creativity
and enthusiasm of these talented dancers and choreographers. Tickets are $5
at the door.

+++++ RADIO FUNDRAISER +++++

WIQH 88.3 FM, the CCHS Radio Station, has unveiled its fantastic WIQH
Hometown Treasures -- a book of discount coupons redeemable at local
merchants. Buy a book (or two or three) for $25 each, then use the discount
coupons donated by local merchants. Your $25 up-front donation to WIQH will
easily be recouped when you use the wide variety of featured coupons.
Coupons are good until December 2005. This is sure to be a sellout, so get
your books early! Hometown Treasures is available from WIQH members or you
can contact Cathy Galligan (catgalligan at comcast.net or 978-369-5003) for
more information.
