YOUR HSA IN ACTION | APRIL APPRECIATION


We had the best time celebrating everyone who helps make the circle of support complete at CHS at our "Spring Forward" Staff Appreciation Breakfast on April 10th.  

The HSA provided bagels, pastries, granola bars, fruit, yogurt, and smoothies. And our amazing CHS families really came through with donations for pencils, pens, markers, sticky notes, hand sanitizer, tissues, vitamin C packets, gum, mints, hand lotion, and more! 
Everyone left refreshed, restocked, and ready to tackle the last quarter of the school year. 

Thank you for donating and volunteering ... your support made this event extra special! The next appreciation event — our annual Spring Luncheon — is in early May. Details soon! ❤️ 

Thank you for sharing the love with our CHS Staff!
