Dearest CHES Families,
Thank you to all the primary grade parents who joined us for the Honor Roll Assembly last week. It was heartwarming to see so many of you there to celebrate your children’s achievements. Congratulations to all the students who worked so hard to earn their awards—your dedication and effort truly paid off! We are excited to see even more students join the ranks of honor roll achievers next marking period. Keep up the great work!
For our intermediate grade families, we look forward to seeing you at the next Honor Roll Assembly, scheduled for Tuesday, November 19th, at 2:00 PM. Let’s continue to celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of our students together.
A quick reminder: the Book Fair is happening this week! This is a wonderful opportunity to encourage a love of reading and to support your child’s classroom by purchasing a book for their teacher. These thoughtful gifts help build classroom libraries and show appreciation for the amazing work our teachers do every day.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and school community.
Together, we are building a brighter future!
We are CHES and our cougars climb to new heights! 🐾
