Facilities Updates
Also, the township fire marshall paid us a visit earlier in the summer and communicated that all classrooms must have a clearance of 24" from the ceiling. We are in violation of getting fined the next time he pays us a visit. We have found multiple clearance issues in the primary wing. We have put red stickers on the upper wall areas to help guide you with the clearance height. We have directed Carlos and his crew to take down items that are set too high up and will leave them in your room to be relocated when you return.
Lastly, our first of many Nature Harmony Projects is underway. Our Hammock Garden will be located in the very far corner of our campus (opposite of the pump house by the tree line). Jack Elliot, CHS Class of '24, is working diligently to have this Eagle Scout project up and running for the upcoming fall. Stay tuned!!!
