Career Fair
On Thursday, October 30th, at 8:30 a.m., Chase High School students, including the 8th graders, went to Hutchinson, KS, for a career fair. Many representatives from different colleges were there to talk about their careers and answer students’ questions as they walked around. The careers covered several fields such as Agriculture, Nursing, Engineering, Computing, and Teaching. Some booths handed out candy, pens, bags, and other small items. Everyone met up again at 11:30 for lunch. After lunch, they headed back to school, went to their 6th-hour class, and finished the rest of the day.

Mastering English, One Clause at a Time
While some students are strong in English, others find it more challenging. At Chase, several students struggle with English, but they have a class designed to help them improve their skills.
In Mr. Ferris’s ELA classes, the sophomores, juniors, and seniors are working on a clauses worksheet. Even though some students might not fully understand the material, Mr. Ferris takes the time to guide them through any difficulties they have.
The clauses worksheet helps students review how to properly build sentences and understand the basic parts that make them up. English comes easily to some people, but it can be tough for others. Mr. Ferris focuses on helping those who need extra support with sentence construction. He’s working to improve students’ ability to write complete sentences, recognize nouns, and know where to end a sentence instead of letting it run on.

The Familiar Surprise
At Chase Raymond High School, Mrs. Kelly is the new teacher for FACS and Culinary Arts. She originally started working at Chase as a support staff member but has now stepped into a teaching role. She decided to become a teacher because she saw an opportunity to fill a need and felt confident she could make a difference in that position.
Mrs. Kelly finds it easier to connect with students and understand their behavior, which helps her create assignments that are both enjoyable and educational. She believes that time management and active listening are two of the most important skills for success in the classroom. By using these skills, she’s able to keep students focused and help them stay on task.
