CSCI Survey Success: We Made Our Goal – Thank You!

We did it! Thanks to your time, input, and possibly some strategic bribes to get a quiet moment to complete the survey. We surpassed our parent participation goal with over 40% of you chiming in.

Your feedback is invaluable in helping us make CHMS the best it can be for our students, staff, and families. We truly appreciate your thoughts, your honesty, and your willingness to click through all those questions. Thank you for being such an engaged and supportive part of our school community—we couldn’t have done it without you!

Rolling in Style: CHMS PTO Delivers!

Every year, we rally together to raise funds for our school, and this time, our amazing nurse, Ms. Mary Youngman, had a special request—a new wheelchair for our students! 

Thanks to your generosity (and plenty of pizza lunches, spirit wear sales, and fundraisers), the PTO was able to roll in with a brand-new set of wheels! 

Huge thanks to our CHMS community for always stepping up—you’re the real MVPs! And a special shoutout to our amazing Vice Principal, Mr. Erick Jones, for modeling the new wheelchair in style!
