As part of an ongoing focus on Cinnaminson High School’s culture, each month we decide upon one attribute that will be our focus. We will promote this in different ways by giving the students AND staff specific, yet simple, ways to model this behavior.
For the months of MAY and JUNE, the focus is PRIDE. Pride is a feeling of satisfaction derived from one's own accomplishments or membership within an organization. As a faculty, we take great PRIDE in our students’ academic accomplishments, our athletes’ success, and our performing arts. Our students are proud of their accomplishments, identity as a member of a class, and being a pirate.
Here are some ways to show your PRIDE:
Show your school spirit by participating in the Red and Black games
Do your best on the upcoming AP exams and final exams
Spread the word about the great things we do at Cinnaminson High School
Recognize your favorite teacher or staff member by nominating them for a Golden Apple
Please help us by encouraging your child(ren) to demonstrate these simple acts each month. We look forward to fostering a culture of Commitment, Honor, and Spirit at CHS!

May is full of celebration. May 1st is International Workers' Day, an annual worldwide celebration. While the United States honors its workers in September, the Chicago Haymarket Square Union Strike was a movement heard around the world and considered the beginning of the international labor union. May 1st, also known as Beltane - a Pagan holiday, Beltane is one of the eight Sabbats. It falls about halfway between the spring equinox (Ostara) and the coming summer solstice, Litha. The holiday celebrates spring at its peak, and the coming summer. May closes with the beloved American holiday Memorial Day, while some see it as the start of summer, its true purpose is to honor all those who lost their lives serving in any of the six branches of the US military. The full month of May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month and sets the stage for communities big and small across the country to provide culturally enriching activities paying tribute to the generations of Asian and Pacific Islanders who have enriched America's history and remain instrumental to our future success. We encourage anyone interested in how to celebrate and support the AAPI community to read this article. In 2022, lawmakers in Trenton passed legislation to ensure Asian American Pacific Islander history is included in the curriculum. For local AAPI events, visit the Southern NJ Chamber of Commerce site. The Students with Diverse-Abilities Affinity Group planned a field trip to the zoo on April 30th and May for the day. Their theme “Some see disabilities - We see Possibilities”, brings awareness to and the celebration of the many abilities and contributions people with diverse abilities have. The CHS Equity team proudly supported this exciting initiative and was so grateful to the Cinnaminson Education Association for sponsoring their breakfast before departing for the zoo. Student leaders and members of the APPI affinity group are working with their adviser and the CHS Equity leadership to plan an event for the end of the month in observance of AAPI cultural month. As the year draws to a close, current affinity leaders and Equity committee members look to identify new student leaders as we celebrate the graduation of our senior leadership team. As always, the CHS Equity committee welcomes your questions. Kindly direct them to our Equity committee chairs, Ms. Bouggess, bouggessm@cinnaminson.com, and Ms. Kim, mauroffk@cinnaminson.com.

The boys' track team has been enjoying a nice run of meets after spring break. At the Moorestown Invite on April 11th, the team came home with a few medals, with Jacob Wickersham winning the 800 and Shafiq Herrington placing in the high jump. At the Lenape Field Day, the team picked up victories in the pole vault (Max Frey), high jump (Shafiq), and javelin (Leland Locke). A few days later, at the Woodbury Relays, the boys' Distance Medley Relay team of Eddie Abu-Adas, Victor Bastos, Ryan Scaricaciottoli, and Wickersham brought home gold watches for the win. Joining them in obtaining new luxury timepieces was Max Frey, with a win in the pole vault in a new PR of 14’6”. Next up, the team traveled to the Cherokee Fast Times meet, where Max continued his impressive streak of victories by winning the pole vault again. On April 24th, the 4x100 team had their most successful outing at the Penn Relays in 16 years with a team of Max, Anthony Bell, Jahvon Johnson, and CJ DePhillippo. The team completed a busy April by hosting a 5-team batch meet on April 29th that doubled as our senior night, and a chance to raise money for Lisa’s Fund, a scholarship program benefitting athletes attending cross country camp.

If your child is absent or late to school, written verification to satisfy the requirements of the attendance policy must be submitted to the Attendance Office within two school days, by 8:00 AM on the third day, if the request of the absence is to be considered excused. This is a particular concern when calculating Winner’s Circle. |
|
For those driving children to and from school each morning, please ensure that you follow all posted speed limits and drive safely through the surrounding neighborhoods when driving to and from school each day. We all are responsible for ensuring all children arrive at their respective schools safely each morning. |
Please remember that students are to be dropped off in the lane in front of the school only. Students are not to be dropped off in the parking lot. We want to make sure that students arrive at school as safely and efficiently as possible. Dropping off students in the parking lot increases the interactions between cars and students and delays the main drop-off line as more students need to cross the drop-off lane in the crosswalk. |

ESEA Section 8528 outlines provisions that give military recruiters the same access to secondary school students as recruiters from postsecondary institutions or prospective employers (e.g., college fairs, job fairs) and, when requested, requires LEAs to provide students’ names, addresses, electronic mail addresses, and telephone numbers to military recruiters. Parents who do not wish the district to provide name, address, and email information with military recruiters must notify the school in writing. A sample opt-out letter is available at the following link:

For the safety of your children, we will be requiring that when a student is released from school on an Early Dismissal for any reason, any person (including the parent) picking up your child must present photo identification. As a reminder, we will only release your child to a parent/guardian or emergency contact. Again, this is for the safety of your children. |
|
Parents who are picking up your child/children after practice/games, please do not park and wait in the lane of traffic in front of the gymnasium. Please park in the parking lot and wait for your child. Parking in the lane of traffic causes safety issues on many levels. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. |

All Young Men Who Are 18 Years Old, Or About To Turn 18: You are legally obligated to register with Selective Service. By registering you add your name to a list of all men in the nation 18-25. The list would be used to identify men for possible military service in case of a national emergency. You must also register with Selective Service to receive Federal Student Aid for college. The law says that all 18-year-old men must register within 30 days of their 18th birthday. You can register with Selective Service in less than 2 minutes via the internet at: www.sss.gov, or you can go to the Post Office and complete a registration form. You can also register online when filling out your FASFA. It’s quick, easy and the law. |
|
If you have not already done so, please consider joining the Cinnaminson Alumni Network. Instructions for registering for the CAN are available here: Cinnaminson Alumni Network. The CAN is a great way to stay connected with CHS, network with fellow graduates, and for new generations of CHS Alumni to connect with professional mentors from Cinnaminson.
