Bismarck Invitational Cross Country Meet Results
The XC team had “another day of awesome improvements,” Coach Jim West expressed about Saturday’s race. “Brenden Edwards and Ty Silvester both improved over last week’s times.  Ava Umfleet won an 18th place medal in the Middle School girls race.  Jacob Cheney took 24th place in the Boys Varsity race and Haylee Esser took 23rd place in Junior Varsity girls race.” The top 30 places received medals. Congrats to all finishers!

Auditions for the school play are scheduled for this week, Tuesday, September 22 and Wednesday, September 23. ALL STUDENTS should SIGN UP FOR AN AUDITION TIME. After signing up for an audition time slot, the student will be added to a Google Classroom to submit the required audition contract. Students will not be cast in the play if this form is not properly completed. Each student will only be auditioning for one character, but may state willingness in the audition contract to play any character. This will be taken into consideration when casting.

For students attending school in-person: 

• • Auditions will be held after school, reading from THIS SCRIPT. Students must have a ride available for prompt pick up to maintain social distancing, allowing 15 minutes for the audition.

For students who are currently quarantined:

• • Auditions will be virtual. Record yourself reading from THIS SCRIPT and attach the video to the Google Classroom assignment.

Beginning Tuesday, September 15, the library will offer after hours support to parents, students, teachers, and other community members. “Tech Tuesdays” is one component of nearly $9000 awarded in June to Clearwater High School Library by the Missouri State Library.

Every Tuesday, 3:30-7:30 pm, individuals will have access to dedicated support personnel. Assistance may include remote learning questions, instruction in using online resources, searching/applying for jobs online, questions regarding general computer use, and other digital issues. Area residents can get help on Tech Tuesdays by the following methods:

• Telephone 573-223-1805
• Send an email to techtues@cwtigers.net  
• Join a Zoom meeting (https://zoom.us/my/techtuesday)

As schools pivot to remote and hybrid learning, and many community services transition to online operations to avoid COVID-19, the need for digital literacy is especially significant. In addition to addressing digital literacies, the grant project entitled, “Strengthening the Workforce through School and Community Engagement” will also provide career information, hands on entrepreneurship skills, assistance creating resumes, and more. The funds of $8,782 are an award through the “Spotlight on Literacy” program supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the Missouri State Library, a division of the Office of the Secretary of State. The project submitted by the Clearwater High School Library is designed as “part of a comprehensive program that equips youth and adults with digital and career literacies to help them become productive citizens.”

For more information, contact the Clearwater High School Library at chslibrary@cwtigers.net or Mary Bangert at 573-223-2313.
