Reminders and Announcements

A Tribute to Mrs. Linda McCubbins '76: We are putting together a memory book for Mrs. McCubbins's family. If you or your student would like to share a memory and/or photos that you may have of Mrs. McCubbins, please email them to crusaderalumni@chsvb.org by Monday, February 22.
The Environmental Crusader Club encourages CHS families to take the Pearl Home survey by Lynnhaven River Now by clicking on the following link: https://www.lynnhavenrivernow.org/vb-residents/.

As a Pearl School, CHS will receive points towards maintaining its Pearl School status if families complete the survey. This is also a great way for families to stay environmentally engaged during the pandemic. Thank you!
Black History Month: The History and Social Sciences Department is offering a Black History Contest for all students. Students will learn about some of the men and women who played significant roles in U.S. history. There are six profiles on the walls of the front lobby and a QR quiz available for students to take. Contest winners are eligible for prizes.
ATTENDANCE POLICY: The school day begins promptly at 8:05 a.m. All students entering the building after 8:05 am must check in with the front office. Parents are asked to send an email, rather than a written note, to attendance@chsvb.org or gillisb@chsvb.org when a student will be arriving late or leaving early. Students leaving the school before the end of the day must check out at the front desk, exiting through the front door. Parents arriving to pick up a student should call the front office, and we will have the student come out to the car. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we all work together during the pandemic.
Book C.R.U. (Cru Readers United!): Please join us for our second virtual book club meeting! The Book C.R.U. is moderated by CHS Librarian, Mrs. Barbara Kelly. Mrs. Kelly has chosen the book, Educated, by Tara Westover. This memoir depicts the author's life growing up in rural Idaho in a family that chooses isolation and bears a close resemblance to modern-day homesteaders. It chronicles her struggle to become "educated," ultimately earning her P.H.D. at Cambridge University.

Please join The Book C.R.U. club via Signup Genius: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0D4DA4A922ABF94-thebook.

The Book C.R.U. Club will meet virtually on Wednesday, March 10, 2021, at 6 p.m. If you didn't have the opportunity to join our last discussion, please sign up today! Don't worry if you haven't read it, join anyway! We are looking forward to a fun and sociable hour!
