winter spirit week
CHS celebrated Winter Spirit Week last week and many students and staff joined the fun by participating in daily dress and lunchtime activities. Students wore holiday hats, ugly sweaters, warm pjs and fuzzy socks, and engaged in activities such as cookie decorating, holiday karaoke, and pics with Santa. It was a great way to ring in the holiday spirit!
