National Honor Society Blood Drive
National Honor Society hosted a Blood Drive last Tuesday to support United Blood Services during the holidays. Thanks to the CHS students and staff members who donated!
CHS deca
DECA members and friends recently volunteered at Feed My Starving Children. With gloves and hairnets on, students scooped, poured, weighed, and sealed, all with the hopes to successfully send as many meals as possible to those in need. With at least six people at every table, it was a full house and there was not a shortage of high energy or excitement within the packing room. Within two hours, DECA created enough meals to feed over 60 children for a year. DECA is extremely happy to be able to take part in something that is truly changing the world, for we know that DECA is creating leaders who will impact tomorrow.
Turkey Drive
Congratulations to Mrs. Thomas's 2nd hour Chemistry class for donating the most money during CHS’s Turkey Drive. Second hour classes were challenged to donate money to buy turkeys for the Chandler Care Center's annual food drive. Student Council treated the class with hot chocolate and cookies last Wednesday.
JROTC
CHS’s JROTC completed their annual trip to Luke AFB last week. The cadets visited various agencies on the active duty base to see the different jobs that the Air Force has available and needs to function to fulfill its mission. The cadets saw a number of weapons and where and how they are loaded onto aircraft. They also observed where and how Air Force personnel are trained on small arms, M-16's, pistols, rifles, etc. From there the cadets went out to the flightline where there were F-35's, and the cadets got to hear a briefing from an F-35 pilot and ask questions. Finally, the cadets were taken to the chow hall for lunch right along with other active duty AF personnel.
prevention and awareness week
During the week of November 16th, Chandler High hosted Prevention and Awareness Week. Each day an average of 1000 students were able to listen to presentations that affect students every day. Christina Tetreault spoke about suicide awareness, Natalia Chimbo-Andrade talked about prescription drug use, Ted Huntington taught self-esteem building skills, and Officer Keipert presented about how the law applies to adolescence. Thanks to Mrs. Erin Zius, CHS Social Worker, and Officer Keipert, CHS SRO, for organizing and hosting the valuable event.
ib news
The Chandler High School IB Parent Booster Group will be sponsoring an ACT/SAT combo practice test on Saturday, January 9th from 8:00am-12 noon (check-in begins at 7:30am) at Chandler High School (Cafeteria).

The sample test is followed by answers, explanations, and a guide on how to score your answers to calculate a percentage on each section. The calculated scores are designed give you a general indication of your potential performance on each test, which may help you in your consideration of which test may be better suited to your strengths.

parent education meeting
CHS will host a Parent Education Meeting in the Chandler High School Career Center (Administration Building) on Thursday, December 3rd, from 6:30 to 8:00pm.
Teenagers struggle with so many different issues, and sometimes they self-medicate as a coping mechanism. This can be seen in behavior changes, attitude adjustments, and in personal relationships. Do you ever wonder if your teen is struggling, and would you recognize the signs of self-medicating behavior?
Stephanie Siete, Director of Community Education for Community Bridges, Incorporated (CBI), will present info on current drug trends, the signs and symptoms of teen drug use, and preventative measures that can be taken to support teenagers as they navigate this difficult space. She will also provide resources for families to utilize. For further questions, please contact Chandler High’s Social Worker, Erin Zius, at zius.erin@cusd80.com.
