CHS holding volleyball tryouts
Clovis High School will hold tryouts for volleyball teams at the varsity, junior varsity and freshman levels 4 p.m. Oct. 5and 6 at Rock Staubus Gymnasium.
All coaches and students will be screened daily for signs/symptoms of COVID-19 prior to tryout, including a temperature check and completion of a COVID-19 monitoring form.
Students should bring a face mask, a person water bottle and a complete physical packet. Packets are available online at clovis-schools.org/athletics/Forms.html
STEM challenge going virtual
Due to COVID-19 safety precautions, the 2020 New Mexico Governor’s STEM Challenge has transitioned to an all virtual event including the statewide STEM Showcase to be hosted by New Mexico State University Dec. 5, and the registration deadline has been extended to 5 p.m. Thursday.
The challenge includes NMSU, the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions, Los Alamos National Laboratory Foundation and the New Mexico Public Education Department along with industry partners from across the state.
Registration is available at surveymonkey.com/r/NBNYGBY.
In its second year, the challenge is an opportunity for New Mexico high school students to use their problem-solving skills. The 10-person student teams will compete to find a solution to the question “how can you combine New Mexico’s natural resources with technology to address regional/global needs?” Winners will be determined by industry employers in the state. The top teams will win up to $5,000.
In the first year of the program, 65 New Mexico high schools and more than 600 students attempted the challenge.
