GOODBYE TO DR. DIXON, Thursday, July 1, 2010, 11:00am- 1:00pm, CAHS Faculty Lounge---

It seems like just yesterday we were welcoming Dr. Dixon to CAHS as the new principal. We have appreciated every new idea, and every inspiring word and act during her two short years at CAHS. Her hard work has paid off, but we will miss her. She has been fortunate to have been offered a promotion as Assistant Superintendent for the Saginaw, Michigan School District and will be leaving us very shortly. There will be a small appreciation gathering for her July 1, 11:00am-1:00pm. Everyone who is able is welcome to attend.

Creative Writing Class at O.S.U. for CAHS students

A member of the Friends of CAHS, and a professor in OSU's creative writing department, Michelle Herman, has offered CAHS students the opportunity to attend a creative writing class at OSU. Prospective students must be interested in creative writing, majoring in English, or sitting in on an OSU English class. In addition, Arab-American writer, Diana Abu Jaber, is coming to OSU to read and talk about her books on the evening of November 5th at OSU. In 2005, Abu Jaber wrote a culinary memoir about her life in upstate New York entitled The Language of Baklava. I just finished reading her page-turning literary suspense novel, Origin, which I highly recommend. Any CAHS student who is interested in hearing Ms. Abu Jaber can get a free ticket for the event from Michelle Herman. Michelle can be contacted at herman.2@osu.edu.
