PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Welcome to December everyone! I am hoping for a lot more snow in December than November gave us! Many things are happening in December at CHSPS leading up to the Winter Break (December 21, 2023 - January 3, 2024). There is a Staff Collaboration Day December 11, 2023, Christmas Concert December 19, 2023 (1:00 pm and 7:00 pm - two full shows this year!), field trips, and Basketball tournaments, practices, and league games! After the Winter Break, Students who are writing Diplomas and Provincial Achievement Tests will be preparing for their exams during exam week in January 2024.
