CHS Key Club and FCCLA held their annual Turkey Trot during advisory on Tuesday, Nov. 25. Students paid  $1 to "trot" out of advisory to the commons to hang out with friends and purchase various baked goods. The event raised $400 for the YMCA Buddy Bags program, which helps to ensure all children have nutritious food at home on the weekends. Way to go, CHS!

The 5th graders participated in a Friendsgiving Project-Based Learning (PBL) unit that integrated reading, writing, math, science, and social studies while fostering teamwork and creativity. 5th grade students collaborated to research global harvest traditions, design a Friendsgiving menu, explore the science of cooking, apply math for budgeting and measurement, and celebrate through a culminating event that included food tastings, cultural displays, and reflections on gratitude. Today the 5th graders held their Friendsgiving event in the cafeteria and were able to taste test the foods they made for each other from every continent.
