Honoring Those Who Serve
Honoring Those Who Serve
As we approach Veterans Day, the CCHS is paying tribute to those who have served or are serving in the US armed forces.
Last week, CCHS Peer Leaders collected candy for deployed service members and veterans.
We are also continuing to collect names of veterans for the Call of Faith & Duty: A Tribute to Veterans.
Supporting Our Troops – a "Sweet" Gesture
Last week, students in Peer Leaders held a Treats for Troops Candy Contest to collect candy for veterans and deployed servicemembers.
The candy is being donated to the Soldiers' Angels Treats for Troops program.
Thank you to Peer Leaders and to the CCHS community for supporting a great cause!
Thank you to Norwood Insurance Agency in Groveland for generously volunteering to ship the candy and also distributing to area veterans services!
