Hoops for Hunger Hoops for Hunger

Behavior Expectations

The Hoops for Hunger event is scheduled for January 22nd this year. The purpose of this event is to raise money for the Greater Lansing Food Bank and to have fun at a CMU Women’s basketball game. It is very important that students demonstrate their ability to follow expectations while at school so that we can trust that they will follow the expectations at the game. With that being said, students will only be allowed to attend this event if they have three or fewer behavior referrals from Monday, December 2nd through January 21st. Everyone has a clean slate starting this week, so it is up to our students to make sure they are following all school expectations from now until the event in January. I believe that all of our students have the ability to do this!

Community Resources Community Resources

The holiday season is a time for joy, but it can also bring stress or challenges. If you’re in need of support, the Chippewa Hills community is here for you!


Our High School Counseling Office maintains a list of resources available in and around the Chippewa Hills community to help with mental health, food assistance, housing, and clothing.

The full list is available on our website HERE.

You can also access this list via the CHSD Warriors app, under the Documents tab on the District page.

This time of year can be especially challenging, but please remember — you don’t have to go through it alone. Reach out for support from these community resources, and let’s spread kindness and care this holiday season!

Youth Sports Youth Sports

For any questions related to youth sports, please contact the appropriate sports program directly. Don’t call the school as our staff is unable to answer specific questions about your child’s team, schedule, or registration status. Instead, reach out to the sports organization for the most up-to-date information!

If you’re not sure who to contact, check out this page on our website that provides contact information for many of the local youth sports organizations in the Chippewa Hills area.
