CHMS Weekly Update

November 27th - December 1st

The End of the Trimester 1 and the Beginning of Trimester 2

Our first trimester wrapped up last week! 1/3 of the way through the school year! Teachers have until Tuesday the 28th to finalize grades from Tri 1. Report cards will be printed and mailed out later this week.

No Second Step Lesson This Week

There will be no Second Step lesson this week as Homeroom classes will be working on their teamwork skills by competing in a winter door decorating competition! The class with the winning door will win a prize!

Thrift Sale Donations

Chippewa Hills High School Student Council is planning to host a thrift sale in January to raise money for those in need in our local community. The Middle School is collecting donations over the next two weeks (Monday, November 27th - Friday, December 8th). We need your help collecting donations for this event. We are looking for new & gently used (no stains or tears) clothing, shoes, and blankets of any size. If you would like to donate anything, please either send it with your student or bring it to the office.

8th Grade Trip to FSU

Our 8th graders will be attending the Discover Manufacturing event at Ferris State University on Thursday this week! Most students have turned in their permission slip and plan on attending. If a student does not plan to attend, they should still come to school as it would otherwise count as an unexcused absence.

5th/6th Grade Activity Afternoon

Our next 5th/6th grade activity afternoon is scheduled for this Friday 12/1 from 3:15 - 5:00. Admission is $5, and concessions will be available for purchase!
