Good evening Pirate families! This Friday, April 4th, The Pirate Singers will be singing The National Anthem, directed by Ms. Lee, to kick off the Mudcats FINAL Opening Night.

March FLEW by, and at CHES we are ready to welcome April :)
During the month of April, students will learn about physical and mental endurance as they practice healthy habits. These tools will help better prepare them for our end of year events such as testing, field day, and transitioning to the next grade level.
Attached you will find community resources as well as a newsletter to help your student work on their self-esteem alongside our conversations about healthy habits.
Happy (almost) April!
