Is it kind? Is it honest? Does it improve the situation?
Over 600 CHS student athletes and parents attended our 2017 Bulldog Athletics Kick-Off Presentation on Tuesday night, September 12th. The night included some important information regarding the athletic department, an appeal from the CHS Booster Club to become a member, a powerful message from our guest speaker and a challenge from our principal.
The highlight of the evening was a 30-minute story shared by our guest speaker- Aaron Polansky. Polansky's message to our student athletes was clear- you are powerful and have the ability to make the CHS community a better place. Beyond his emotional story, he provided a clear and strong set of three questions that he suggested we use to make our daily decisions---- 1. Is it kind? 2. Is it honest? 3. Will it improve the situation? Three simple questions that can help us all make our school a better place. Polansky clearly made a huge impact on much of the audience. In an effort to "make it stick," Polansky kindly left a banner with these questions on them that will be displayed proudly at the CHS entrance. (See photo.)
CHS principal, Derek Folan followed up Polansky with a challenge to all of our student athletes. He challenged the hundreds of CHS student athletes to take their role in strengthening school culture seriously. He praised all of their hard work and asked them to spread that Championship Mindset throughout the school.
The evening ended with a very special message from Mike Smith- from the HarborTV. Smith visited CHS last December where he made a HUGE impact on the student body. Last winter, his message of kindness and inclusiveness was powerful and impactful. (See blog entry about his last visit).

Go Bulldogs.

Clarification of Attendance Rule
I'm afraid I was not very clear with my explanation of the attendance rule- the 5-Period rule at Tuesday night's presentation. Hopefully this can clear it up.
Student athletes must be in school in order to participate in athletics in the afternoon/evening. In order to be considered "in school," a student must be in school for AT LEAST the final 5 periods of the day. If a student athlete leaves school during the day due to an illness or other reason, he/she is NOT eligible to participate that day. HOWEVER, if a student has a scheduled doctor/dentist appointment that requires the student be dismissed for a portion of the school day, that will be considered excused and the student WILL be eligible to participate that day.
Remember- always bring a not from the doctor/dentist when returning to school.

Football win on Cravens Night highlights great opening week for CHS Athletics
The 2017-18 CHS Athletic season kicked off this past week with tons of great results for Bulldog fans.
Field Hockey is already 2-0 after convincing wins over Attleboro and a very strong Mansfield team. Boys Soccer, Girls Soccer, and Volleyball each started off with big wins over Attleboro. Cross Country had many great performances in a loss at Nauset.
Friday night saw the Football team come flying out of the gates in the home opener against Pentucket Regional- jumping out to a 21-0 early in the first quarter and never looking back on their way to a 42-7 win. The game was a great community event- which saw hundreds of Canton residents and CHS students come out to watch the team and honor Bulldog legend Billy Cravens. It was great to see the entire CHS band in the stands keeping the crowd going. Hundreds of dollars were made to support ALS research. A pre-game tailgate party was attended by more than 200 students and teachers to celebrate CHS student athlete Xavier Machuga's road to recovery. It truly was a great example of our community coming together.
Proud Week to be a Bulldog!
