Heartfelt Thank You (Principal's Appreciation Month)
Dear Parents and Students,
As we celebrate Principal Appreciation Month, I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to both parents and students for your incredible support and dedication to our school community. This month serves as a reminder of the vital roles you each play in making our school a welcoming and inspiring place for learning.
To our parents, your involvement is the backbone of our success. Whether you are attending school events, volunteering in the classroom, or encouraging your children at home, your contributions have a profound impact. Your engagement fosters a strong partnership that not only enriches our school culture but also helps our students thrive academically and socially. Thank you for entrusting us with your children’s education and for being active participants in their growth.
To our students, you are the heart of our school! Your enthusiasm, curiosity, and commitment to learning inspire us every day. It is your hard work and determination that motivate the entire staff to strive for excellence. We are so proud of your achievements, big and small, and we encourage you to continue embracing new challenges and pursuing your passions. Remember, you are capable of amazing things!
Together, as a united community, we have the power to create a nurturing environment where everyone feels valued and supported. I encourage both parents and students to continue engaging with us. Your ideas, feedback, and involvement are crucial as we work together to provide the best educational experience possible. Thank you once again for your trust, support, and partnership. It is an honor to serve as your principal, and I look forward to the exciting journey ahead—filled with opportunities for growth, learning, and achievement for everyone.
Warmest regards,
Principal Davis

I Voted - Contest - 2024
Updated 11/2/2024
Our third “I VOTED” sticker contest is going on right now. The goal is to encourage scholars to learn more about the democratic process and to inspire registered CH parents, staff, and families to vote in the November election.
Here is how it will work:
Campuses will collect “I VOTED” stickers from scholars during early voting (October 21 - November 1) and on election day (November 5)
Scholars and staff can collect the “I VOTED” stickers from their neighbors, family members, and others once they have cast their ballots.
Scholars and staff should turn stickers into their campus to be counted and submitted at the end of the campaign.
Campuses will email their sticker count to Rebecca Garza on Nov 8, 2024.
The winning campus will receive a prize on a day to be decided after the winner is announced.
Parents, you can give your stickers to your scholar and they can turn it in to the front office.
