Senior Portraits | Starting August 4th
It's time to schedule your senior portraits! Sessions begin on August 4th @ CHS. Pro Tip: Search your email (or your senior's school account) for "Urgent Senior Photo Information" to confirm your log-in information.
SUMMER FOOD SUPPORT
Summer school days are long ... and the district doesn't provide breakfast or lunch. CHS HSA Cougar Cares works with CHS Counseling to keep snacks and water on hand so that hunger doesn't get in the way of learning. MEND Hunger Relief Network generously provides fruit every week, but help from our CHS community is needed for donations/deliveries of snacks and water once a week at CHS during the six weeks of summer school.
Please consider signing up for a week or more. All snacks should be store-bought and individually wrapped.
Requested snack items are:
• Nut-free granola bars
• Chocolate chip bars
• Fruit snacks
• Fruit cups
• Rice krispies treats
Prefer to let Cougar Cares do the shopping for you?
Thank you for supporting our CHS students! If you have questions or would like to get more involved with this amazing team, please reach out to chscougarcares@gmail.com.

Cougar Cares Needs Our Support
ICYMI, our June 2025 HSA Focus newsletter is all about the important work Cougar Cares does all year long to support CHS students and their families. From groceries to sneakers to milestone events, Cougar Cares is here to make sure students feel seen, supported and celebrated.
Click the link below to take a deeper dive, but the TLDR is that our Cougar Cares budget could use a boost as we head into the summer months. Will you chip in to help us finish the year strong? Every dollar goes directly to a student in need.
We're truly grateful for everyone who has donated, shopped, sorted, and supported Cougar Cares in so many ways this year. We couldn't do this work without you! ❤️
