Hi CMIT, here are your weekly updates on the Green Energy Generation Club, Aquaponics, and the Solar Clock. The Green Energy Generation Club is set to collaborate with the CMIT Robotics Team to incorporate a Solar Clock into the Weather Station installation in front of the entrance to CMIT. We will be working closely in the design, build, decoration, and upkeep processes for this clock so that we can provide another resource for all who frequent our school. This clock will utilize solar power to run, in a similar manner to the weather station. This is an important learning artifact and experiment, as we will be using this Green Energy Installation (the combined structures of the weather station, solar panel, battery storage, and solar clock) to provide power for our Aquaponics garden. The Green Energy Generation club has plans to install an aquaponics garden in the front entrance area to CMIT. We want to showcase our serious commitment to being an environmentally conscious and sustainable community here at CMIT. This will help us show the US Department of Education that we are investing our time and energy into improving our world. Keep your eyes on the newsletter for frequent updates on this process and look toward the front of the school to see how our Green Energy Installation will help pave the way to a greener future. Are you interested in being involved in this and future projects? Send an email to Mr. McKinley and Dr. Clarke stating your commitment to joining the Green Energy Generation Club. We meet Thursdays from 3-5 pm and Saturdays from 9 am-1 pm. Best,

Subject: 9G Parent Workshop | Improving Performance in Quarter 2 Hello, 9th Grade Families: Please mark your calendars to join me and Mr. Conde for a presentation about improving student performance in the second quarter. This presentation is geared toward 9th grade students due to the number of students receiving at least one D or E in the first quarter and the number of students struggling to attend classes on time. The numbers we are seeing are unprecedented for us, and we want to be sure you are aware of the challenges and opportunities that exist for students who might be struggling. If you have concerns about your student's progress during the first quarter or just want to join us to make sure the strategies you have in place will support your student's success in the second quarter, join us on November 30th virtually from 6pm to 8pm.
