Thinking spring?

We’re currently in the planning stages for the Summer Activity Guide. It won’t be long until it’s time to think spring and warmer weather. Our Summer Activity Guide will be open for registration beginning March 20. We’re planning for many returning favorites including More Than Pink with new content and guests, Cougar sports camps, STEM and creative offerings and so much more!

English as a Second Language (ESL) gets together!

Students in the ESL program recently got together at CHS East to meet in person and share favorite foods. Most of the students had been working on their ESL curriculum in a virtual classroom and had never met each other in person. ESL instructor, Pearl Cheng, organized the event in the hopes that meeting each other in person might enrich their learning experience.
