Today was the first meeting of the school year for the Superintendent's Student Advisory Council, in which two representatives from each school routinely meet with Dr. Fecher and Dr. Melchor to share their thoughts and experiences from across the district. Dr. Fecher also gave the students an assignment to go to their peers and ask for any feedback that should be brought to the next council meeting. #ASDProud

CB's own Mrs. Flanagan was recognized at a recent tennis event!

Mrs. Flanagan was a great teacher and prepared us well for our school years to come. She encouraged us but also challenged us, and had the best reward systems and always knew what to do to cheer us up on a bad day. She taught me so much academically, but also that school can be fun and a positive experience. I think she made me who I am today by teaching me the importance of positivity and balance between fun and focus, a skill I have used and will continue to use in my high school years to come.

Keep it up Mrs. Flanagan!
