OCTOBER 2010
CAPITAL HIGH SCHOOL
NEWSLETTER
Principal:
Clinton H. Giles Our job is to improve, not just maintain.”
New Information begins on
page 5 for October.
Beginning in August 2006, a student
with life- threatening peanut and tree nut
allergies enrolled in our school.
Because of these medically documented
conditions, items that trigger the allergic
reactions cannot be tolerated within the
environment here in the school. By
working proactively, we hope to
minimize the risk of accidental peanut
and tree nut allergen exposure to the
student.
We are requesting that you do not bring
any item or product that contains peanuts
or tree nuts (i.e. almond, walnut, Brazil
nut, filbert or hazelnut, hickory nut,
pecan, pine nut, pistachio, and
macadamia nut) onto the campus.
Obviously, food products made of or
containing peanuts and tree nuts appear
to pose the greatest risk of introducing
these allergens into the school
environment.
Products that are processed with peanut
and tree nut oils should be avoided, also.
Some apparently acceptable foods pose a

potential risk for introducing these
allergens because of cross
contamination/contact due to their
having been exposed to the oil allergens
during their processing. These typically
include “chips,” sunflower seeds,
granola bars, and nut butters.
Items that are typically sold as “fund
raisers” need to be carefully screened to
ensure that they comply with the
guidelines set forth in this letter.
In advance, we want to extend to all of
you our appreciation for your
willingness to help us reduce the
exposure of students to these products.
Just as we have in the past with students
whose health profiles required that we
work together to ensure that our school
environment posed no threat to them, I
am confident that Capital High School
will rise to the occasion in this instance,
also.
Please feel free to contact the
administration, the school nurse, or one
of the counselors if you have questions
or would like more information
regarding this issue.
Respectfully,
Clinton H. Giles, Principal
Student Class Schedule
Change Rationale
The administration of Capital High
School believes that no student class
schedule changes should be granted
after student schedules have been
finalized at the end of the spring
scheduling period.
The above philosophy statement
provides for the following policy
principles regarding the changing of
student class schedules here at our
school now being established in writing.
The purpose of this documentation is at
least two-fold:
1. Needed clarification will be provided
for all.
2. Past inconsistencies and irregularities
with respect to policy implementation
will be eliminated and or discontinued.
Please know that it is understood that
exceptions to established policy may be
warranted in specific, novel and unique
circumstances. Accepting this caveat,
please know also that exceptions to this
policy will be considered only within the
confines of the most strict and narrow,
administratively predetermined,
parameters.
1. – Schedule change requests will only
be entertained during the first two ( 2 )
weeks of the school year.
2. – Schedule changes completed during
this two week period will include but not
be limited to those changes necessitated
due to “technical difficulties” such as
having fewer than seven ( 7 ) classes
scheduled, having duplications of
classes, having no lunch period
scheduled, being scheduled into a class
that is not compatible/consistent with the
student grade level, etc.
3. – No schedule changes will be
entertained after the official Mid-term
Progress Report Date has passed.
4. – After the official Mid-Term
Progress Report Date has passed,
schedule change requests will be tabled
or held in abeyance until the approach of
the end of the first semester. At that
juncture, consultation between the
counselor(s), teacher(s), and
administrative representation from the
school will occur to review each request
to determine whether or not the request
has merit. Please know that each of these
requests will be subjected to the utmost
scrutiny and held to the highest
academic/administrative standards.
5. – Schedule changes that are
determined to be warranted after the
Official Mid-Term Progress Report Date
has passed will only be granted with
administrative approval.
Re: Advanced Placement (AP)
Courses
Students who schedule for AP courses
will not be permitted to obtain
schedule changes during the summer
prior to the beginning of the school
year. Because of School Master
Schedule accommodations, personnel
 and staffing commitments, the
establishment of curricular priorities,
and the signing of student contracts, a
student must remain enrolled in the
AP class that they (he/she) requested
until the end of the first semester.
Principle 4 above is applicable in this
area.
West Virginia Contract of Rights and
Responsibilities in Learning for Students
Preamble:
Education is the key to individual
success and regional economic health.
Educators, students, and
parents/guardians/mentors are equally
responsible for facilitating success in
education; without one party’s active
participation the remaining two will not
achieve maximum results. Students,
parents/guardians/mentors, and educators can
affirm the expectations of West Virginia public
schools by signing a pledge to support the
various rights and responsibilities in the
education environment.
PARTNERS Pledge
Pledge to Achieve Real, Transforming,
Necessary, and Expected, Respect in
Schools
We have asked that everyone at Capital
High School -all administrators;
teachers; parents; and students - sign this
contract (pledge) to assure that all our
collective efforts (a partnership) will
ensure that every Capital High School
student receives a World Class, 21st
Century Education. Administrators
signed the pledge along with the faculty
and staff members upon returning to
school on Friday, August 20, 2009
All students were asked to sign the
PARTNERS pledge on September 9,
2009 during homeroom. Each student
was given a copy of the partners pledge
to take home to their parents and
guardians for them to sign and to be
returned to the school to the homeroom
teachers.
On September 10, 2009 at 7 PM in our
Performing Arts Center I shared the
basic aspects of the partners pledge with
approximately 500 parents who had
come to our annual open house. During
that brief introductory session I shared
with the audience the basic components
of the pledge and its purpose. Parents
were provided their own individual
copies of the pledge to be signed that
evening. We also positioned large
blowups of each of the individual
pledges - for administrators; teachers;
parents and guardians; and students - in
the Commons for all to see as they
passed through the building.
The pledge is whole-heartedly supported
by First Lady Gail Manchin – who is a
member of the State Board of Education
–is consistent with and thoroughly
embraces the five key points of the
America’s Promise Alliance which was
started by General Colin Powell, who,
through his tenure of working through
the previous presidential administration,
noted that many children in America fail
to reach their fullest potential because
there are five things that are lacking in
their lives.
Under the leadership of Founding
Chairman General Colin Powell and
current Chair Alma Powell, the
America’s Promise Alliance has become
the nation’s largest partnership providing
supports to young people.
The Five Promises
The Five Promises are those
developmental resources — wrap-
around supports— that young people
need for success in life:
Caring Adults - All children need support and
guidance from caring adults in their families, at
schools and in their communities. These include
ongoing, secure relationships with parents as well as
formal and informal relationships with teachers,
mentors, coaches, youth volunteers and neighbors.
Caring adults are the cornerstone of a child’s
development!
Safe Places - All children need to be physically
and emotionally safe wherever they are — from the
actual places of families, schools, neighborhoods and
communities to the virtual places of media. They also
need a healthy balance between structured,
supervised activities and unstructured time.
A Healthy Start - All children need and
deserve healthy bodies, healthy minds and healthful
habits. These result from regular health check-ups
and needed treatment, good nutrition and exercise,
healthy skills and knowledge, and good role models of
physical and psychological health.
Effective Education - All children need the
intellectual development, motivation and skills that
equip them for successful work and lifelong learning.
These result from having quality learning
environments, challenging expectations and
consistent guidance and mentoring.
Opportunities to Help Others - All
children need the chance to make a difference in
their families, at schools and in their communities.
Knowing how to make a difference comes from having
models of caring behavior, awareness of the needs of
others, a sense of personal responsibility to
contribute to the larger society, and opportunities for
volunteering, leadership and service.
Everything the America’s Promise
Alliance does is built around the
framework of ensuring that more young
people experience more of the
Promises.
The Five Promises Change Lives
Children who receive at least four of the
Five Promises are much more likely than
those who experience only one or zero
Promises to succeed academically,
socially and civically. They are more
likely to avoid violence, contribute to
their communities and achieve high
grades in school.
Receiving at least four of the Five
Promises also appears to mitigate gaps
across racial and economic boundaries.
To experience the full power of the
Promises, young people must experience
these critical supports throughout their
lives — in their families, at schools and
out in their communities.
Improving the lives of 15 million
disadvantaged youth over the next five
years is the goal of the America’s
Promise Alliance.
Through instituting the PARTNERS
Pledge here, we at Capital High School
are committed to doing our part to
ensure that all our students receive the
Five Promises. Again, we are asking
that everyone at Capital High School -
all administrators; teachers; parents; and
students - sign this contract (pledge) to
assure that our collective efforts
(establishing a partnership) will ensure
that every Capital High School student
receives a World Class, 21st Century
Education.

Constitution Day
Assembly
09/17/10
In accordance with federal
law established through an
amendment to the omnibus
spending bill of 2004 sponsored
by the late United States Sen.
Robert C. Byrd, D-WV our
annual Constitution Day
assembly was held here at
Capital High School on the
morning of September 17,
2010.
The amendment that Sen.
Byrd sponsored requires that
any school receiving federal
funding must hold and assembly
each year on September 17.
The content of this assembly
must specifically provide
students with information about
the United States Constitution.
Our own state Sen. Dr.
Dan Foster gave the keynote
address on this occasion. A
brief biography of Sen. Foster's
is included as follows:

Dr. Foster's 20 minute
address contained five salient
points.
The historical significance of the
United States Constitution, the
fact that the Constitution serves
as the model for most every
other Constitution in existence
today, the practically unlimited
freedoms guaranteed by the
Constitution, the need to uphold
and protect the Constitution,
and offered encouragement for
each and every student to take
full advantage of the
opportunities provided by the
United States Constitution to
obtain a free thorough and
efficient education which is a
responsibility of every citizen in
this Federal Democratic
Republic.
The assembly began with
the presentation of the colors by
our award-winning Capital High
School Army JROTC Color
Guard. Our show choir, the
Voices In Perfection or VIPs,
with musical accompaniment by
the pride of Capital High, the
Capital High School Marching
Band, offered a stirring medley
of America the Beautiful
followed by our National
Anthem.
Throughout the program
the band and the VIPs offered
several instrumental and vocal
musical selections of a decidedly
patriotic nature consistent with
the theme of the assembly.
Interspersed between the
musical selections were oral
presentations on the Declaration
of Independence by Ms. Katie
Cook, president of the Capital
High School Student Body, the
Preamble to the Constitution by
Ms. Kaitlin Dyer, president of
the Capital High School Senior
Class of 2011, and the Bill of
Rights by Mr. Trevor Gibson,
president of the Capital High
School chapter of the National
Honor Society. All three
students were excellent in
providing their heartfelt
interpretations of what each of
these important documents
means to them.
The entire student body
was commended for the mature,
responsible, and attentive way
in which they conducted
themselves throughout the
entire assembly. The entire
administration, faculty and staff
of Capital High School, as well
as Sen. Dan Foster, is extremely
proud of and pleased with the
collective reception and
response of all our students to
the Constitution Day assembly
presentations.

AP Scholar Awards
This past spring,18 students at
Capital High School earned AP Scholar
Awards in recognition of their
exceptional achievement on AP Exams.
The College Board’s Advanced
Placement Program (AP) provides
willing and academically prepared
students with the opportunity to take
rigorous college-level courses while still
in high school, and to earn college
credit, advanced placement, or both for
successful performance on the AP
Exams. About 18 percent of the more
than 1.8 million students worldwide who
took AP Exams performed at a
sufficiently high level to also earn an AP
Scholar Award.
The College Board recognizes
several levels of achievement based on
students’ performance on AP Exams.
At Capital High School:
One student qualified for the AP
Scholar with Distinction Award by
earning an average score of at least 3.5
on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3
or higher on five or more of these
exams. This student was Cody White.
Four students qualified for the
AP Scholar with Honor Award by
earning an average score of at least 3.25
on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3
or higher on four or more of these
exams. These students were Taylor
Giorgio, Zachary Griffith, Tommi
Moore, and Alexander Rodberg.
Thirteen students qualified for
the AP Scholar Award by completing
three or more AP Exams with scores of 3
or higher. The AP Scholars were Angela
Balthazar, Hallie Brotherton, Lauren
Dittebrand, Kaitlyn Dyer, Molly Means,
Richard Nguyen, Christopher Nyden,
Roper Rock, Lindsay Scott, Luke Teel,
Michael Whitman, Martina Wilkinson,
and Audrey Wright.
Of this year’s award recipients at
Capital High School, five are currently
juniors or seniors; Hallie Brotherton,
Kaitlyn Dyer, Richard Nguyen, Luke
Teel, and Zachary Griffith. These
students have at least one more year in
which to complete college-level work
and possibly earn a higher-level AP
Scholar Award.
Through more than 30 different
college-level courses and exams, AP
provides willing and academically
prepared students with the opportunity to
earn college credit or advanced
placement and stand out in the college
admission process. Each exam is
developed by a committee of college and
university faculty and AP teachers,
ensuring that AP exams that AP exams
are aligned with the same high standards
expected by college faculty at some of
the nation’s leading liberal arts and
research institutions. More than 3,800
colleges and universities annually
receive AP scores. Most four-year
colleges in the United States provide
credit and/or advanced placement for
qualifying exam scores. Research
consistently shows that AP students who
score a 3 or higher on AP Exams (based
on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being the
highest) typically experience greater
academic success in college and have
higher college graduation rates than
students who do not participate in AP.
The College Board is a not-for-
profit membership association whose
mission is to connect students to college
success and opportunity. Founded in
1900, the College Board is composed of
more than 5,700 schools, colleges,
universities and other educational
organizations. Each year, the College
Board serves seven million students and
their parents, 23,000 high schools, and
3,800 colleges through major programs
and services in college readiness, college
admission, guidance, assessment,
financial aid and enrollment. Among its
widely recognized programs are the
SAT, the PSAT/NMSQT, the Advanced
Placement Program (AP), SpringBoard
and ACCUPLACER. The College
Board is committed to the principles of
excellence and equity, and that
commitment is embodied in all of its
programs, services, activities and
concerns.

CAPITAL HIGH
SCHOOL
Freshman Flyer
“Education is a social process. Education
is growth. Education is, not a preparation
for life; education is life itself”
~ John Dewey ~
To begin I would like to take a moment
and informally introduce myself to the
freshman class. I am Mr. Tench, a
graduate student through Marshall
University, and I am serving as a
counseling intern working mainly out of
the CSU office in support of the
freshman class. One of my major
objectives is to aid all freshmen in the
transition from middle school to high
school and do my best to support and
encourage you to stay focused and begin
your high school career on the right foot.
My door will be open to all students to
aid in academic, social and personal
situations. Feel free to stop in whenever
you need assistance or guidance on any
of life’s issues or if you just need
someone to listen.
I know that the transition from middle
school to high school can be challenging
to some, so here are some tips to make
the transition a little easier:
12 Tips for Surviving
Freshmen Year
1. Be Yourself – If people do not
like you the way you are that is
fine. You can find true friends by
being you; do not comprise you
2.
who are just to “fit in.”
Try to make new friends –
Friends are like a life-jacket in
the shipwreck of high school –
you need them. You need friends
for help with homework or to
provide a shoulder to cry on. Do
not let your friends go and do not
be afraid to make new friends,
because we all need them at one
time or another.
3. Make good first impressions on
teachers – Impressions that are
made early in the school year can
affect your entire high school
career. Be sure to be on time for
class, complete all assignments
and be respectful of your
teachers and other students in the
class.
4. Do not procrastinate – The
sooner you complete your work,
the more time you have to do the
things you like to do. Do not let
work get piled up and fall
behind, start a good work ethic
now and it will follow you
through the rest of high school.
5. Try to stay positive – Although
some situations can get tough, or
you get a bad grade, things will
get better. Try to keep a positive
attitude at school, it can be
contagious and make the day a
little better.
6. Accept Change – Accept change
in your friends. Accept change in
your school. Accept change in
your teachers. Accept change in
yourself. High school is a huge
part of your life, and from here
on out, there’s no turning back.
Do not try to keep things from
changing, because change is
good. Watch people around
 become who they are going to
be.
7. Set goals and organize –
Learning to set goals and
organize your school work and
daily schedule is a key to
success. Start by setting short
term weekly goals and then set
successive monthly and semester
goals for yourself both in
academics and in your personal
life. This will allow you to stay
on track and give you motivation
to succeed.
8. Study – The word “study” is not
one that students like to hear, but
inevitably it is a required skill for
the rest of your life. Although not
fun, or easy at times, studying is
necessity for success. Try
utilizing flashcards for useful
facts or definitions or jotting
down the important information
out of the book that you need to
remember for the upcoming test.
If you need help with ideas for
studying information don’t be
afraid to ask – find a teacher or
counselor.
9. Get involved – A great way to
meet new people and stay active
is getting involved with sports or
clubs at the school. Opportunities
are abundant at school so don’t
miss your change to get involved.
Extracurricular activities look
great on college applications and
early involvement in clubs and
sports can lead to bigger and
better things in the future.
10. Don’t be afraid to try
something new – High school is
a wave of new experiences;
however, do not let the fear of
the unknown or novelty sway
you from taking changes and
trying new things.
11. Don’t give into peer pressure –
High school will expose you to a
variety of things, some good and
some bad. Learn the difference
and learn to stand on your morals
and beliefs. Just because a bunch
of kids are doing it does not
make it “right” or “cool.”
12. Have Fun!!! – High school can
be a blast and you have the right
to enjoy every minute. Keep up
with your studies, have fun with
extracurricular activities and
enjoy the moments with your
friends that are full of
excitement. Keep in mind that
you are building the foundation
for your future, don’t let an
unstable foundation keep you
from reaching your goals in life.
I know that you have probably heard
some of these things before, but there is
a reason. These issues are important and
can set the tone for your high school
career and life after high school.
I hope that all of you are making a
comfortable transition to Capital High
school and if you need anything feel free
to stop in my office. I am located in the
CSU office area in office 337a.
Mr. Tench
Dear Parent or Guardian:

We are pleased to tell you that Capital

High School has been selected to
represent schools across our state and the
nation by participating in the National
Assessment of Educational Progress
(NAEP). NAEP is given by the National
Center for Education Statistics within
the U.S. Department of Education and
tells us what our nation’s students know
and can do in key subject areas. It is the
largest continuing and nationally
representative assessment and has been
providing valid and reliable data on
student performance since 1969.

The results of NAEP are published in a

report called The Nation’s Report Card,
which provides information about
student achievement to educators,
parents, policymakers, and the public.

In our school, the NAEP assessment will

be given on February 23, 2011 in
writing. Your child may be selected to
take the assessment. In addition to
subject area questions, students will be
asked some questions about themselves
and their educational experience. You
can access student and sample
assessment questions at
http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/pare
nts/.

It will take about 90-120 minutes for

most students to complete the NAEP.
The results are completely confidential
(in accordance with the Confidential
Information Protection provisions of
Title V, Subtitle A, Public Law 107-
347), and your child’s grades will not be
affected. Your child may be excused
from participation for any reason, is not
required to finish the assessment, and
may skip any test question. While
NAEP is voluntary, we depend on
student participation to provide an
accurate measure of student achievement
that will inform educational decisions.
Your child will represent many other
students, so participation is very
important. However, if you do not want
your child to participate, please notify
me in writing by December 1, 2010.
There is no need to study in preparation
for NAEP. We do ask parents to
encourage their children to do their best
and to have them get plenty of rest the
night before the assessment.
Additional information about NAEP is
available at
http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard. If
you have questions or would like to
review a booklet that includes sample
subject area and student questions,
please contact me at (304)348-6500 or
via e-mail at cgiles@kcs.kana.k12.wv.us
to schedule at time. These materials will
not be available for review until January.
We are excited that our school will be
participating in NAEP, and we are
pleased that your may be selected. We
know that Capital High School’s
students will help show what West
Virginia’s students know and can do.
Sincerely,
Clinton H. Giles
Capital High School Principal
TEACHER OF THE MONTH
Each month, Capital High School will be
selecting and honoring a teacher. All
teachers are encouraged to nominate
their peers for Teacher of the Month.
Each Teacher of the Month will be
featured in the newsletter, his/her picture
will be in the kiosk outside of the main
office, and they will attend a luncheon at
the end of the school year.
Capital High School is pleased to
announce Sergeant Major Dillon as
the September Teacher of the Month.
"SGM. Dillon is a driving force within
this school. Kids stream through the
door straight to SGM with
their problems on a daily basis. Kids tell
him problems they would not tell their
parents. He counsels them, he protects
them, he builds them up when they are
down and sticks a foot in their butt when
they are not acting they way they
should. Parents call to talk to him
directly on how to deal with their
kids. He exudes such authority and the
uncanny ability to turn kids into
respectable adults. This man does this
unselfishly and tirelessly. He asks for
nothing in return and considers it a
challenge and not a duty.
Administrators seek him out for
counsel. Teachers reach out to him for
assistance in dealing with student
problems and academics.
Cadet Command relies on him to ensure
the other JROTC programs in the valley
are ran as well as Capital.
He seeks no recognition other than the
personal satisfaction that he improved a
kid’s life even if for a day."
Congratulations Sergeant Major Dillon!
LADY COUGAR SOCCER
As the Lady Cougar Soccer team
heads into the post season, the girls have
been strengthened by the adversity they
have overcome. With several girls
sidelined by injuries, the team, with a
record of 7-7-1, is ready to be at full
strength again. The last four games of
the season will help to prepare the team
for their sectional tournament. Currently,
the girls are still ranked in the top 20 in
the state and finished in the top 8 of 16
total MSAC teams, with several players
receiving all-conference recognition.
Their MSAC playoff match with
Woodrow Wilson High School this
Thursday, October 7, 2010 at 5:30pm,
will be for a 7th place finish in the
conference. The girls will finish the
regular season with matches at Cabell
Midland, Sissonville, and Lincoln
County. Good luck to the team in the
post-season!

COUNSELOR CORNER-OCTOBER
The counseling department would like to
welcome Ms. Jackie Schimmel (L-R) to
our staff. Please stop by to say hello and
welcome her.
The counselors have an open door
policy. We strive to meet the needs of
all of our students with emergencies
taking first priority. Students can see
their counselor before school, between
classes, in the cafeteria during their
scheduled lunch period and during class
with permission from their teacher.
Parents/guardians may call, email, or

The school year is off to a great start.
The counselors have started working
with seniors on their exit interviews.
Seniors must take the ACT or SAT if
applying to college. Visit
www.actstudent.org or
www.collegeboard.com for test dates,
registration, and practice tests. The
seniors will travel by bus to the
Charleston Civic Center on October 5th
for a college/career fair.
Greater Appalachian Outreach is
recruiting 9-12 grade students. G.A.O. is
an educational program funded by the
US Department of Education to provide
educational opportunities for first
generation college bound students.
G.A.O. provides career counseling,
college planning, ACT/SAT preparation,
financial aid counseling and field trips to

develop an effective strategy to achieve
their career goals.
Week of October 25th Tenth grade
students will be taking the PLAN test.
The PLAN evaluates students’ progress
in English, mathematics, reading and
science. This is a reliable predictor of
performance on the ACT. The PLAN is
an excellent tool/resource for parents
and students to use in preparing them to
qualify for the PROMISE as seniors.
Results will be sent home by the
students in February.
FROM YOUR SCHOOL NURSE
Adolescence is a time when most drug
abuse begins and it is also a period of
critical brain development. Prevention of
drug abuse is key and parents and
grandparents are major players in
keeping their teens drug-free. I found
a very helpful website that can give you
facts about drugs and the adolescent
brain and tips for raising drug-free teens.
Check it out. You'll be glad you did and
you will be a better informed parent!
The website is

Foreign Language
Spanish Classes now have the added
expertise of two more native speakers in
the classroom. Mrs. Clarissa Furber joins
us from Florida as a student teacher of
Spanish. Mrs. Furber was born in
Panama, but moved to the United States
of America with her parents as a child.
Mrs. Furber’s husband finished his 20
year tour with the Air Force on October
1 and remains in Florida. When Mrs.
Furber completes her student teaching at
Capital High School in December she
will return to Florida with her four year
old daughter, who is with her in
Charleston, to join her husband and two
daughters of twelve and fifteen. We are
pleased that Mrs. Furber chose to do her
practice teaching with us.
Miss Sara De Juana, our other native
speaker and this year’s Amity Scholar,
hails from a small town in northern
Spain. Sara has an undergraduate degree
in translation and a master’s degree in
teaching Spanish as a foreign language.
Sara has spent time in Ireland and
England perfecting her English. Sara
will remain at Capital High School for
the entire school year. When Sara
completes her school year with us, she
will return home to prepare herself to
come back to the United States of
America next year as a Fulbright
Scholar. We are fortunate indeed have
Sara in our classroom helping our
students this year, and we are very proud
of her accomplishments. The Pauley-
Carpenter family is generously hosting
Sara this year; thus, Thad Pauley –
Carpenter has a new sister for now.
A note to parents and guardians of
Spanish 3 and Spanish 4 students: In
January, those students will be eligible
to register for the college credits of
Spanish 101 and 102 respectively
through the University of Charleston at a
very nominal price for a college class.
Those students not registering for the
college class will have no change in the
class.
If you have questions about the college
class or anything else, do not hesitate to
contact me at
Dalcazar@kcs.kana.k12.wv.us
SPOTLIGHT ON VIP S
October is a busy month for the VIPs
and Vocal Ensemble. The Marshall
University Festival Chorus will take
place October 15 & 16, 2010 on the
campus of Marshall University.
Students from West Virginia, Ohio
and Kentucky come together for this
two-day event. This year ten
students will represent Capital High
School: Natalie Byrne, Morgan
Prunty, Allison Whitener, Jodi Morris,
Brian Morris, Caleb Hardy, Taylor
Blaney, Nicholas Naylor, Brandon
Hawkins and Anthony Thomas. The
students have been preparing a
challenging program that will be
rehearsed and performed in concert
on October 16 at 2:00 PM in Smith
Music Hall. The concert is free and
open to the public. This is a
wonderful opportunity for our
students to experience the college
atmosphere.
We have two choreography sessions
scheduled this month to block our
whole competition show. October
17-19 and then again October 29-31
will bring Gates Crisler back with us
from Omaha, Nebraska. Gates was
originally scheduled to be with us in
August and the day he was to travel
here his spleen ruptured. He is
finally back to work and we are
excited for the creative choreography
he has planned for us.
Fundraising is a necessary “evil”
when it comes to any high school
choral program. While fundraising is
optional, we ask all families to help
out. We need to raise funds to help
pay for our Accompanist, Music,
Choreographer, any upcoming
trips/festivals, backdrop, etc. The
“That’s My Pan” Fundraiser was a
huge success last year and we will
begin that sale October 5th through
the 19th. Our annual Spaghetti
Dinner and Auction will be held
October 12th from 4-8 PM; this is
also Capital High School’s
Parent/Teacher conferences. We
had a wonderful turnout last year
with many beautiful baskets and
gifts. The baskets made great
holiday gifts as well, so come on out
to visit with you son’s or daughter’s
teachers and have dinner already
fixed and holiday gifts (or any gift for
that matter) available for purchase.
The dinner is $5.00 for spaghetti,
salad, choice of dessert and a drink.
Our Cookie Dough fundraiser is
currently scheduled to begin
Thursday, October 21st and will last
two weeks.
We are currently trying to secure
sponsors for our 18th Annual Concert
Choir and Show Choir Invitational
held February 19, 2011. If you or a
business would be interested in
being a sponsor please feel free to
contact Mrs. Corbett at
kgcorbett.chs.vips@gmail.com
From the Studio
Dance classes have just completed an
introduction to ballet, including a career
study. We are heading back into Jazz to
explore some various styles like:
Contemporary, Theatrical and Latin. We
will use these lessons to begin to put
together our performance for Performing
Arts Holiday.
The Dance Company continues to work
hard in preparation for our first
performance at the Homecoming Pep
Assembly on Oct. 15th. October 23rd
and 24th we will have workshops and an
intense choreography session with Brad
Parquette. (See the Flyer regarding
workshops). On October 28th, we will
have a class with “Step Afrika” through
the Clay Center. Students will be
introduced to the true history and
cultural impact of stepping. We will
present our first concert on Nov. 6th at
7PM. We hope you can make it out to
see how far we have come in such a short
period of time.
We have started selling
SaveAround Books and have Kroger
cards available for anyone wanting to
support us in that manner. Please
contact Ms. Legg if you would like one
of the books or cards. Below you will
find some bullets regarding things we
have upcoming. Please feel free to email
