Pictured here (dressed for nerd day) is one of our seniors Caleb Sizemore. He is a great kid with a great heart but he wears hats to school. Atleast twice a month I have to ask him to put it away because hats are not allowed at CTC. That is until last night when the board voted not only to change it next year but make it Effective immediately!
So, Caleb, you can wear your hat now!!
Other changes that you need to make note of: Talent Show and PSAT Workshop have both been canceled. We are still working on the Achievement Testing sign ups please bear with us as we are having to find a new Iowa Test supplier.
Lastly, A big thank you for those who ate at Top That Pizza last week! We will be receiving a check for $129.57.
Stay tuned,
rae

It was a good day today for Human A&P as they got to begin dissecting a cat. They began studying the muscles and will continue to peel away the layers until they reach the skeleton. Arent you glad CTC is here so that this isnt happening on your dining room table?!!

In other news: please keep in mind i am nagging your kids about performing in our talent show. I need to know by the end of month if they are game. there is a sign up sheet on the bulletin board. Thursday, March 8th will be our talent show and chili dinner. Rather than sell tickets this year we are going to just charge admission and all proceeds will go towards general expenses that keep us going.
That being said there has been talk that we may NOT be around next year. Let me assure you that the board, admins and returning tutors are resolved in our purpose that CTC is still relevant and needed in the home school community and though this year has been lean we are confident that next year will be better.

The yearbook staff has desiged the coolest tshirt to use as a fund raiser for the yearbook!! We love it and trust that you will to!
Tuesday, is your last day to order yearbooks for the discounted price of $35.
When you order a yearbook you can receive $5 off the $20 tshirts. Select your color, size (youth & women sizes available) and whether you want a t-shirt or hoodie.
Order froms should have been picked up in family folders OR get one in the office on Tuesday!! Yearbook staff will be selling them in the lunchroom during lunch for your convenience.
Feel free to pass along to your home school groups because we can also order withough the ctc logo at the bottome of the shirt (check our our facebook page for close up pictures)

I have the privledge of serving on the board here at CTC with some amazing people, one of those people is the wise Susan Strelow who served 17 years at CTC and continues to serve as our historian on the board.
She keeps us on schedule by reminding us what we should be doing "around this time". I asked her if i would ever be a "walking calendar" like she is because she just amazes me that even after being away for a couple of years she still remembers.
When i sat down to write this blog to remind you of important dates we had coming up, i realized "i am a walking calendar!" we all are! If you are a wife, a home school mom, do anything with sports, prom or church - we have to keep mental calendars! The challenge is to make sure my important dates get on to your mental calendar.
So please check the calendar on our website we work hard to make sure everything is there and notifiy you of things like yearbook sales (right now for the month of january they are $35) prom ticket sales and dead lines for getting your students enrolled at Tulsa Tech for the 2012-13 school year is Feb 10th.
Life is crazy busy but when we join together in the craziness there is always a hand to hold. :o)
