Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
What is poetry? Yes -- poetry and song writing count as Creativity!
NO!
Do we need permission to sell products like baked goods on school property?
Yes! That is a long process and involves Mr. McGeough, Mr. Musgrove, and Dr. Salma.
The answer is usually No thanks! This is because Education Starts at Home and NHS generally have the market cornered. :-)

NO!
How many times per month should I engage in CAS?

How many Learning Objectives are there and where are they located?
There are 7 LOs which are linked on the CAS Opportunities page. Also, the LOs are found in the ISOI/CAS guide.
If I create a website, does it count as CAS?
Yes! Creating a website counts for both Creativity and Service!
Does horseback riding count as CAS ?
Yes! As long as you write a meaningful reflection!
Are my reflections 100% private???
No. Your reflections are visible to your teachers and administrators. However, they don't really have a reason to go in and check them out. But keep that in mind as you are writing.
What is the purpose of CAS in IB?
CAS it up!!! (Give a good answer, please!)
What counts as a meaningful reflection?
Great question!
Generally speaking, if the assignment is graded, it does NOT count as CAS. However, special circumstances exist. So, if you do a big project it for a grade, then show it/teach it/display it for others to enjoy and learn about -- that would count as CAS!
You need to meet with me at the beginning, middle, and end of CAS! If you are full-IB, you need to meet with me at the beginning of each year. Otherwise, this meeting counts as your year one and year two meeting! Also, just list me as your CAS Supervisor for all things CAS.

Super smart CAS Stars get it done during Junior Year!
