CCHS Students and Families,

As we approach Veterans Day, we take time to honor the brave men and women who have served our country with courage, sacrifice, and dedication. Their commitment to protecting our freedoms and ensuring our safety is something we should never take for granted.

At CCHS, we are grateful for the veterans within our school community—our family members, alumni, and staff—who have answered the call to serve. Their example reminds us of the importance of service, leadership, and unity.

This Veterans Day, I encourage all of us to pause and reflect on the values that our veterans embody—honor, duty, and perseverance—and to thank those who have worn the uniform of our nation.

To our veterans: thank you for your service and sacrifice. We honor you today and every day.

Go Comets!
Mr. Steve Fairs
Principal

Food Assistance Resources During SNAP Disruption

As of now, SNAP benefits will not be distributed in November. The State of Ohio may provide temporary funds until the federal shutdown ends. For the most up-to-date food resources, visit FreshTrak or the Mid-Ohio Food Collective.

FreshTrak lists all local food events by ZIP code, with eligibility criteria and translation options (Spanish, Somali, Arabic, Russian, and others).
The Choice Pantry (Gantz Rd.) and Market (Norton Rd.) can each be accessed once per week —Info about Mid-Ohio Markets Here.
- Advance check-in with a phone number is required.
- No income verification needed for the market; only name, address, and household size.

Mid-Ohio Foodbank Eligibility Guidelines:

4-person household: income below $60,000/year, $5,000/month, or $1,154/week
Add $10,280/year, $857/month, or $198/week for each additional person

If a family meets these guidelines, they can request additional food assistance through a local food bank using the referral form here (responses may take up to 5 days). For more options, visit Cap4Kids for a list of localized pantries and support programs.
