In a joint venture between our NHS and NAHS (and a cool idea from a school in Michigan in 2022), CHS is excited to launch our “CEREAL DOMINO COLLECTION” 2025. Our plan is to collect as many boxes of cereal as we can, line our hallway, and set off a chain reaction that conveys the message that one simple act of kindness can set off a powerful chain reaction of support and have an impact on so many others.
We’re asking each member of our Craig Community to consider donating boxes of cereal. We will have a drop-off box in the gym during morning support through WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17th, and then take our collection, line up our cereal dominos through the halls of CHS, and watch the chain reaction! After the reaction, we will box them up and deliver them to our local food pantries in Montville and Boonton. Thanks in advance for making a difference, one cereal box at a time! We will also be trying out some cereal puns during the collection window. So far, we have “Let's spread some Holiday Cheeri-Os!”
Also, with the holiday break around the corner, we are asking our parents to consider giving to the annual PACS faculty gift. More info on that in this week’s CHIL. And with January waiting in the wings, our JAN LUNCH DELIVERY Ordering window is now open through MON Dec 15th, so get those January Lunch orders in!
Here is to an amazing December,
Dr. Cap

JANUARY SNEAK PEEK
Author Guest Speaker Series-Graphic Novelist Mat Heagerty, Weds Dec 17th:
Did you know that there is a comic book version of “binge watching”? They are called graphic novels: book-length comics that allow the readers to enjoy the whole story in one sitting! And we are excited to share that our next guest speaker for our students is a well-known graphic novelist, Mr. Mat Heagerty. Mat hails from Vermont and has written a diverse collection of graphic novels for a diverse range of ages, with the titles including 'Indoor Kid', Lumberjackula', ‘Martian Ghost Centaur', ‘Unplugged and Unpopular', and the forthcoming memoir 'Offbeat' coming in 2027.
In addition to sharing his craft, Mat also shares his struggles in school and how he flipped the script on his dyslexia and made it his superpower! He now travels the country talking to students about the strengths of learning disabilities. Mat will share his journey from HS to today, as well as the writing process from idea to the written page/drawn panel. We might even persuade him to do a live drawing/story development demo based on input from our students.
You can purchase copies of Mat’s graphic novels on his website (Mat Heagerty COMICS) by clicking on the COMICS link at the top. There is an AMAZON and BARNES & NOBLE link on that page that you can use for quick delivery. He would be happy to sign them on his visit. Last year, Mat visited over 160 schools, and this year he plans on topping that. We are excited to be one of those schools that helps him break that mark.
