Principal's Message
We hope that everyone was able to enjoy some much-needed rest and relaxation over our holiday break. Even though the holidays and break may have looked different for many of us, I have heard many stories about time spent outside in the NH winter weather, family game nights, delicious home-cooked meals, and time spent away from screens.
We welcomed our students back to school after break on Monday, 1/5/2021, and are excited to delve into new learning opportunities. It has been wonderful seeing our students in-person this week, and we have enjoyed hearing their joy and excitement fill our building!
All of us here at CCS look forward to all that the new year has to offer, and we wish you a happy and healthy 2021!
Warmly,
Jessica Snider, CCS Principal

Update from the CCS Health Office
January 8, 2021
CCS HEALTH OFFICE UPDATE:
Please remember to continue to call the main office or myself, even on remote days, if your child is not feeling well (even mild symptoms), the reason why your child will be absent from school, if there are any suspected or known COVID-19 contacts or if you travel outside of New England.
Continued communication and following these guidelines is essential so that we can help keep our school and community stay healthy during this time.
As we are in the winter months, please remember to send in the appropriate winter clothing with your child as they will continue to go outside.
Please feel free to call/email me anytime.
Thank you,
Julie Strazzeri

Chichester's Undercover Pantry. Are you interested in donating?
The 'Under Cover Pantry' at Hope in Christ Church (next to the Library) is being well used lately.
* They try to use smaller/normal sized products as the coolers are only so big, and they try to fit the non-perishables in a tied bag so people aren't touching the food choices.
Ideas for Perishable items:
Eggs (in non plastic containers so they can be split into 1/2 dozens)
Sticks of butter
Loaves of bread/english muffins
Meats (hamburg, chicken etc..)
Ideas for Non-perishables:
Peanut butter and jelly (12 oz size)
Mac & Cheese
Pasta and Pasta Sauce
Tuna
Rice
Pasta/rice side packets (Ex. Knorr)
Boxed mashed potatoes
Cans of vegetables, Ravioli/Spaghettios, Soups
Ramen
Fruit cups/applesauce cups (or small jars)
Cereal
