Just A Heads Up...
Eighth Grade Field Trips Monday & Tuesday
Tomorrow (12/15), half of the 8th grade will go to Drury Lane and the other half will go to Fermilab. Then on Tuesday (12/16) they will switch so that all students will attend both field trips. Students need to dress appropriately for both field trips (no athletic wear on the Drury Lane trip). Students need to bring a sack lunch on the day they go to Fermilab. When they go to Drury Lane, they will be going to Papa Passero’s for lunch.
Treats Needed for Staff This Week
We know it’s a busy time of year, but we want to make sure CHMS teachers and staff feel loved and appreciated this holiday season. The PTO is setting out treats for staff on Thursday, December 18th. If you can drop off some treats anytime Wednesday or Thursday morning this week, please click on the Sign Up Genius link below to sign up.

Thank YOU for an AWESOME Book Fair
A huge THANK YOU to all of the students, parents, staff, and volunteers who supported the CHMS Fall Book Fair and made it one of the MOST successful fall sales to date! While we are still reconciling the final numbers with the Anderson Book Fair Company, our preliminary tallies show sales of $5,134.25 of which 20 percent will go directly to benefit our MRC. Our sales results for this fall are approximately $2,000 higher than last fall and we couldn’t have done it without everyone’s support and generosity. A special thank you also to our fantastic MRC Director, Sally Duffy, who helped us organize and manage the sale!
