Student Announcements for Monday, Jan. 11th

Good morning!


SGA's Annual Winter Links fundraising campaign is under way!  Winter Links will run throughout the entirety of January and is an initiative to raise money for local charities and unite our school in giving back.  This year we will be collecting and raising money during 5th period classes and the funds raised will be used to support "Positive Impact for Kids" - an organization that was created by our very own Leanne Joyce.  Bring in your spare change and support your community Jaguars!


The Unity Club is helping a graduated senior fundraise for a Community Center in Teneres in the Dominican Republic. Our goal is $5,000 For information, please see: http://supportofdevelopmentoftenares.mydagsite.com/home and https://sites.google.com/a/chccs.k12.nc.us/mr-hite-s-useful-links/virtual-silent-auction
