Coaches vs. Cancer

This year the Logan County Middle Schools invite you to be a part of a new tradition. The schools will jointly host “Coaches vs. Cancer” during the Logan County Boy’s and Girl’s Middle School Basketball Tournament ,held at Logan County High School during February 5, 7, and 9. A big thank you goes out to Cates Cabinets for sponsoring the Chandler’s teams.

“Coaches vs. Cancer” is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches. The initiative leverages the personal experiences, community leadership, and professional excellence of basketball coaches nationwide to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living through year-round awareness efforts, fundraising activities, and advocacy programs. “Coaches vs. Cancer” provides critical mission outreach, while raising funds in support of the Society's lifesaving cancer research, education, advocacy, and community service efforts.

Because cancer has touched so many of our nation's basketball coaches, players, teams, families, etc. “Coaches vs. Cancer” offers a unique opportunity to fight the disease. Through integrated fundraising activities, coaches and students are truly making a difference in the fight against cancer and are raising awareness in their communities about the importance of cancer prevention, early detection, and making healthy lifestyle choices.

For more information on how you can become a sponsor or to learn how to host a “Coaches vs. Cancer” event at your school, contact your local American Cancer Society Office at (270) 745-1966 and speak with Tammy Tinsley, Health Initiatives.

Recycling Survey

Please help the Gifted and Talented by taking this survey. Students will take the survey in homeroom. Parents and staff are encouraged to take this as well. Thanks.

Recycling Kick Off

On Wednesday, Jan. 7th Chandler’s School had their kick off assembly for Recycling. Students were presented with information about why recycling is important and why we should be playing an active roll in securing our future. The Can Man was also present on this day to encourage students to recycle and entertained us with his can dance.


We also had a contest to "Name the Bin." Bluegrass Recycling has made a bin behind the school. Mrs. Pryor's homeroom wins the contest and $100. The bin will be called, "The Bear's Bin."


Chandler’s is now going to be taking the following items “only” for recycling:

• aluminum cans


• old cell phones


• inkjet & laser printer cartridges


• plastic water bottles or clean plastic bottles


• newspapers & clean paper products

Bins for these items will be located in the school entrance area. The Bear's Bin is located behind the school and accepts aluminum cans and clean paper products. You may drop items off at the Bear's Bin anytime after school if you wish. All the rest of the items must be dropped off inside the school.

One of our eighth graders, Anne Partlow, created the following movie to encourage everyone to recycle.

If you have any questions please call Mrs. Winchester at 542-4139. We appreciate all efforts to help us with this initiative. Thank you!

Flu Shots

Our school nurse is still available to give flu shots to students if you are interested. You will need to fill out a Vaccine Administration Record and return to school with a $10.00 co-pay. She will be giving these for the next few weeks (or until the supply runs out.) If you have questions or need a form, please call the school. Just ask for Nurse Marcy.
