CHS: We are happy to announce that Clippers for a Cure raised $450 for our Clipper Family that is fighting breast cancer in only 4 days of Penny Wars! Miss Sant's and Mr. Hostetter's homerooms collected the most pennies and won donuts during first period Monday. Mr. Wolf and Mr. Stallsmith's homerooms were sabotaged and had the most silver coins. Consequently, these gentlemen were good sports and wore some fabulous costumes to celebrate their homeroom's defeat. Thanks to all who participated and supported this great cause.

CHS: Senior Students and Families: This Thursday, Mount Union will be coming to CHS for a Financial Aid Night. The event will take place in the Auditorium and will run 6-8pm. This will be a great event to learn about the FAFSA and will give you the opportunity to complete it with a Financial Aid Advisor. Please bring an electronic device to complete these steps. Extra devices will be available if needed.

CHS: The senior class is selling "Airplane Mode" shirts! See link below for pricing and options. Order forms will be sent home or can be picked up in the building offices. Thank you! https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/1616896/Airplane_Mode_Shirts.pdf

CHS Students: Penny Wars begin Monday, October 11! Each homeroom will have a money bucket in their room. For every PENNY collected, your homeroom earns ONE POINT. For each NICKEL, DIME, QUARTER, and BILL, your homeroom loses 5, 10, 25, etc. points, respectfully. The homeroom with the MOST MONEY collected will win DONUTS. The teacher(s) of the homeroom with the LEAST amount collected will be required to wear a "special" costume on Monday, October 18. So, bring in PENNIES for your HOMEROOM and silver coins and bills to SABOTAGE another homeroom Monday through Thursday next week. Monies can ONLY be put in containers before or after school OR between classes. If you disrupt a class, that homeroom teacher will report you and 50 points will be deducted from your homeroom. Monies will be collected nightly with new totals announced each morning. All proceeds from this penny war will be donated to a local Clipper family fighting cancer. Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend!
