*The Charlevoix Varsity Quiz Bowl Team recently competed on Quiz Central. Quiz Central is a game show broadcasted on WCMU Public Television. The Rayder's episode can be seen on WCMU Public Television on Wednesday November 11th at 7:30pm. Be sure to tune in and watch the Rayder Quiz Bowl Team in action!  You'll see Caroline DuPuis, Mathew Brown (his name is spelled MATH-EW 'cause he's really good at math -- HAHA), Karinne Smolenyak, and Katie Mays.  Jonathon Kelly, Hallie Bills and Senor will not be on TV but they DO get their names mentioned!  Tune in! 

· In an effort to keep us healthy, please stay home if you are getting sick. The most contagious time is when you start to feel symptoms, so stay home and get better! The attendance policy states 5 absences per class, not days. Also, extenuating illness with a doctor's note does not count toward the limits.

· Girls' Competitive Cheerleading Try-outs are underway!

· Student Teacher Assistants, see Mrs. Cherry for 2nd marking period packets.

Athletics & Stars of the Day

The boys placed 13th as a team at state this weekend. Individuals---Eric Buday was 14th and recongized as "all state" and our only female, Molly Jeakle, was 99th out of over 200+ runners. Best of luck to our varsity girls' volleyball team as they head into regional play this week. Charlevoix is hosting on Tuesday and Thursday night, so it is a great chance to root on the girls if you haven't seen them in action yet this year.

Rockin' Rayders of the Day:

College Visits & Scholarship News

Juniors: You are required to have three college/trade school visits in your portfolio by the end of the year. Record them on the gray sheets and ask the rep. or Mrs. Dickinsin to sign them. Get it done now so you won't be scrambling in the spring! Also, you're allowed 2 days to visit colleges but they must be pre-arranged with the office to be excused. These visits are eye-opening.

Juniors and seniors, it's time to get those job shadows documented in your portfolio. Your future is a big deal and it's all up to you, so follow up your research with a solid interview and job shadow. See Mrs. Cherry for names of people to contact and assistance with ideas or phone calls. Seniors, this is a HUGE requirement for your senior interviews, not to mention that whole 'rest of your life' thing.
