+++++ *BANDS FUNDRAISER* +++++

The CCHS Bands are selling Innisbrook products to raise money for a trip 
to Japan in
April, 2007. Innisbrook sells quality wrapping products, candies, 
gourmet foods, and
banners. Individual student trip accounts will share profits from 
Innisbrook sales with
the general band scholarship fund. There are three ways you can help the 
instrumentalists
get to Japan. Innisbrook products may be purchased by contacting a band 
student directly,
looking for our Innisbrook table at Back to School night, or shopping at 
the Innisbrook
website, www.innisbrook.com. On the website, follow the prompts that 
insure our
school is credited with the sale. Donations to the Japan '07 trip fund 
can be made,
payable to CCHS Band, and mailed to *Mary Cheever, 74 Carroll Drive 
Carlisle, 01741.

+++++ *IMPORTANT YEARBOOK INFORMATION* +++++

*Parents of the class of 2006*:
Please remember that your parent ads are due no later than next *Friday, 
September 30*.
You can design your own ad, send in pictures with a sketch of an ad, or 
include pictures
and have Herff Jones (our publishing company) create the ad for you. 
Students will not
see parent ads until the yearbook is delivered to the school in May.

*Seniors*:
Senior Portraits and Baby Pictures are due no later than next *Friday, 
September 30*. If you
had your picture taken at Anderson, you do not need to submit it--they 
will submit it for you.
If you choose, baby pictures can be accompanied by text. Students often 
use this space for a
meaningful quote or to list memories that have occurred over the last 
few years. If you (and
your friends) are planning on designing an ad for the back of the 
yearbook, these are due next
*Friday, September 30*. If you are creating a collage, you can cut and 
paste pictures onto an
8x11 page and turn that page in. It will be scanned into the computer. 
If you are using square
(or rectangular) pictures and want them side by side, you can just 
number the photos and sketch
where you want them to go. You do not need to paste them down. If you 
are using digital photos,
burn them onto a CD and again just make a sketch of what you would like 
your page to look like.

+++++ *CCPI BOOK GROUP SERIES* +++++  

Save the Date! The Concord Carlisle Parent Initiative (CCPI)  Book Group 
Series begins on
Tuesday, October 18. We will meet at the Concord Public Library from 7 
to 9 p.m. to discuss
Raising Resilient Children by Robert  Brooks and Sam Goldstein. CCPI has 
chosen this book
because of its wide scope of information addressing issues for parents 
of all ages of children.
It helps parents look at ways to bring out the best in their children 
through their parenting
techniques. The book definitely supports the 40 Developmental Assets 
that Concord has
established for raising healthy youth. Kathy Reticker, early childhood 
specialist, will be moderating
the discussion. *RSVP: Jeaninecalabria at comcast.net*
