Cole Camp R-1 School District

Newsletter for May 11-15
Have a Great Weekend!!!

The science club put on an exciting "elementary science day" this past Monday! These high school students showed the elementary kids experiments about chemical reactions, non-newtonian fluids, pressure and air flow! The finale experiments included the crowd favorite elephant toothpaste and a flame test!

Tomorrow, May 8th, is a busy day at CCHS!

You are invited to the 2026 Step Up Ceremony, where the seniors will pass the flame of leadership to the upcoming class. Immediately following the ceremony, we will conduct our 9-12 awards assembly. Both events will be hosted in the High School Gym.

Students in 11th and 12th grade are strongly encouraged to dress nicely for the event!
