Cab Calloway gets greener
The PTSO Recycling committee purchased four recycling bins for bottles/cans. The bins are placed in the lobby (2), next to the outside cafeteria trash can (1), and in the office (1 for bottles/cans and a separate one for paper).

Calendar changes due to snow days
This news from Red Clay Consolidated School District:
District Calendar Information for the End of the Year: The last pupil day has been moved from June 8 to June 10 as students missed two days in March; March 2 and 3, due to inclement weather. The last teacher day will be June 11.
All grades will meet the number of hours as required by the State .
June 10 and 11 are weather-related contingency days. In the event the district misses less than two days, the calendar will be shortened by the appropriate number of days. Any additional days lost because of bad weather or forced closings will be made up with the cancellation of the following in-service day: February 2. If additional days are needed, above and beyond the two weather-related contingency days and the in-service day listed, they will be added at the end of the school year, so the total school year for teachers does not exceed 188 days, and the student year does not fall below 1060 student hours.
Sports Physicals!
All athletes playing sports need a sports physical, starting April 1. Please schedule your appoointment with the Wellness Center as soon as possible.
