MUSTANG MINUTE
MAY
May 2, 2022
Mustangs,
The countdown continues! This marks the last week for the graduating class of 2022 and the final stretch for many Mustangs. The halls today were filled with leftover excitement from Prom and a sense that the end of the year is near. Please continue to work with us to focus on a positive end to the school year.
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! Thank you to the educators who take care of our students both academically and socially and who make Chugiak High School a place where students are valued. We want our teachers to know they are supported, appreciated, and respected. Feel free to give your teachers a shout out this week!!
Student Government would like to thank all the chaperones, parents, and community for helping make Prom 2022 a roaring success! We appreciate all of the great food that was donated by staff, parents, Bella Vista, Pomodoro, Soda Jerk, and Graphika Cake Studio. We'd also like to do a shoutout to our decorators, Toast of the Town, photo booth, Photo Booth Emporium, and DJ, 907 Entertainment for helping. Everyone looked fantastic and it's so exciting to be able to celebrate this milestone with students. We are already looking forward to next year!
Sincerely,
Megan Hatswell
Principal- Chugiak High School
