CHES Veterans' Day Program
All students will be making "Holiday Mail for Heroes" to be distributed to local Veterans Hospitals with the help of the Red Cross and Cambria County Commissioner, Thomas Chernisky.
This program will include Patriotic Songs and Poems as well a a chance for students to walk through our "Line of Gratitude" to personally shake hands and thank our honored guests.
From November 10- November 22, CHES will also be holding a drive to collect donations for a local organization called, "Homeless Hero's Stocking Project". These stockings will be given to homeless Veterans in our area. A letter will be coming home soon describing this project in more detail. The following items can be sent in to school and placed in the donation bins outside of the office: shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste. toothbrushes, toothbrush holders, razors, wash clothes, soap, plastic soap dish, gift cards to Giant Eagle or Walmart, socks, or gloves.
We owe so much to the men and women who have served our country, and we would like to tell them in person! Please contact the school if you have any questions.
