FFA THRIVES AT COUNTY FAIR
The Maricopa County Fair was a huge success for Chandler High’s FFA program. It was refreshing to see the fair in person and to watch the growth of exhibitors and extreme teamwork in action. Chandler FFA had some amazing showmanship and market achievements.
Adrianna Erwin placed 3rd in the market black face lambs. Annabelle Williams was 2nd in her Heavy Weight Crossbred class, and 3rd overall. Chandra Andazola was 2nd her market class. Chandra Andazola sold her market steer for $22, 750. Jayda Schmerfeld sold her market lamb for $3900. Porter Fitzpatrick sold his market hog for $12,750. Leo Orozco sold his broiler chickens for $900.
Adrianna Erwin, Annabelle Williams, Chandra Andazola, Kaeli Bielak, Jayda Schmerfeld, and Raynelle Harrington all received callbacks and were in the finals for showmanship for large livestock.
We are so proud of all Chandler High FFA showmen. Chandler High students earned over $91,000 by selling their market steers, lambs, hogs, and chickens.
IB AWARDS NIGHT
Last week, seniors in CHS’s International Baccalaureate program, recognized worldwide as the most rigorous high school coursework, were celebrated for their academic accomplishments and perseverance. Many of the students have been part of the IB and Middle Years Program for four years. Grace Combe and Makayla Larntz were recognized as the 2021-2022 IB Students of the Year. Special congratulations to Mrs. Kelsey Brown and Mr. Dan Beck for being named IB Teachers of the Year. Thank you to Mrs. Jacque Hartrick, Mrs. Courtney Kemp, and Mrs. Laura Helt for coordinating the event and leading Chandler High’s IB/MYP programs.
IB DAY OF SERVICE
On April 5th, 30 IB students and IB Coordinators participated in the Arizona IB Day of Service. In the morning, they served at The United Food Bank, filling nearly 1000 emergency food bags and even got a shout out on the news! In the afternoon, these same IB students organized a ‘Drop Off’ drive at AJ Chandler Park in downtown Chandler to help collect hygiene items, cleaning supplies and gift certificates to support our CUSD families in need. It was an amazing day, and participants grew as individual people and as a community.
“CHANDLER’S GOT TALENT”
Student Council’s freshman class hosted its annual Chandler’s Got Talent variety show to showcase Chandler’s best and brightest to a packed house and cheering audience. From musicians to poets, the show proved that Chandler has talent. Congratulations to Natalia Scott and Olivia Gibbons for taking home the grand prize which consisted of over $100 worth of prizes donated from local businesses.
E-SPORTS UPDATE
Every single CHS E-Sports team made it to the 2022 Playoffs. The Smash team ended their season with a loss against the second seed team from Willow Canyon High School. Out of more than 140 schools, Chandler High Smash placed 63rd. Hayden Wendt, Madden 22 player, ended his amazing winning streak due to a scheduling conflict with Robotics. We wish him luck in Houston! Daniel Torrez is still in the running for the PlayVS championship for Madden, winning his matches and entering the 3rd round of competition this afternoon. The Rocket League team entered playoffs at seed 13 and faced the Seton Sentinels from Seton Catholic Prep in the first round. In a best-of-7 game series, the Wolves swept 4-0, but then lost to Brophy last Friday. Congratulations to CHS E-Sports and Coach Samantha Seery on a terrific first season!
