CHCCS Announcement Regarding Back to School 2020
At last week's Board of Education meeting, the Back-to-School 2020 Plan was approved. While there are many decisions yet to be made, this plan provides a basic structure for what school may look like this Fall. The Board meeting is posted to our website and available for viewing.The conversation was lengthy, and the plan is somewhat complex. To that end, I have attempted to summarize it in this 8-minute video. I realize that is long, and that this video is unpolished, but I hope it explains the plan in a way that makes sense to the viewer. If you are not familiar with the plan, please invest the eight minutes.Please know we also have a Back-to-School 2020 page on our district website. Here you will find a variety of resources that may prove helpful as we move closer to August 17. -

Until this year, the fifth grade graduates at Glenwood Elementary School (GES) embraced a cherished tradition of welcoming back former Gators who are preparing to graduate from high school. The GES alumni would arrive in their caps and gowns and when everyone had gathered, they led the current fifth graders through the hallways to the gym for the graduation ceremony.

Seedlings Distributed to CHCCS Families
The greenhouse at Culbreth Middle School has been an under-recognized, but well-utilized treasure among CHCCS school resources, but its impact has never been as wide as this year. “The greenhouse at the Culbreth Middle School is an incredible resource,” said Jess Pusch, the grant-funded CHCCS Garden Coordinator. “Since starting this position in the fall, I've really tried to utilize the greenhouse as a powerhouse for seedling growth and distribution across the district.”

CHCCS Chef Adapts and Thrives
Not many North Carolina public school districts celebrate sustainable and local ingredients in their menus, but then, not many school districts have the good fortune to provide meals developed by a lead chef like Jordan Keyser. A school-wide “quinoa event,” another dedicated to the versatility of chickpeas, Keyser’s rollouts of new recipes come with a festive and educational component.
