I would like to thank all the families that hosted Jeppe students last week. The effort and hospitality put
forth made their visit a great experience not only for our guests, but the whole school community.
This week we had a great College, Career, and Community Day on Wednesday. Freshmen shadowed
professions they were interested in and seniors participated in Philanthropy Day activities at local
organizations. Our counselors coordinated information sessions for sophomores and juniors related to
career opportunities and the college planning process. In the evening they hosted admission
representatives from Case Western Reserve University, Miami University (Oxford), The University of
Miami (Florida), and the University of Pittsburgh for a parent College Planning Program.
Next week, we will be celebrating Homecoming Week. Details about the festivities can be found below,
I hope all of our students participate and celebrate this great tradition.
We are also starting second quarter on Tuesday and students will be registering for new Tiger Time
offerings. As they register and are scheduled into offerings for the following week, they will be
attending a study hall in their homeroom and can work with teachers as needed.
Homecoming Week
CFHS will be celebrating Homecoming next week, October 20th -24th. Student Council has designated

Say Something Call-to-Action Week
October 19th – 23rd is national Say Something Call-to-Action Week, an initiative from Sandy Hook
Promise. We will be having daily announcements reminding students the importance of notifying adults
when they have information related to a student potentially harming themselves or others. According to
the organization, in 7 out of 10 acts of gun violence and 70% of suicides, at least one other person knew
of the acting person’s intent, but said nothing or thought it wasn’t serious. Our hope is to join this
initiative by promoting the importance of acting on information students have when there are safety
concerns.
