TEN-WEEK CLUB
Please make sure to sell your Ten Week Club tickets, sell to friends, family members, neighbors. This is our major fundraiser for the year which will help your student pay down their fundraising fee. Tickets are $20 each and you have 10 weeks to win three prizes each week. For each ticket you sell you receive $10 credit on your fee. We thank you in advance for your support of this fundraiser.
This is a way to help the school with keeping tuition costs down and to upgrade the facility. It is also a way for you to receive a credit in March on your School Fee. Remember every ticket sold is $10 back.
We will extend the deadline for returns to October 6th. This will give you another weekend to collect ticket revenue.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents,
This week brings the end of September and the end of a great first month of school. The students are settled into their routines and working hard in their classrooms. We are almost at the midpoint of our first quarter. Keep an eye on Edline and your student's progress in class. If you have not activated your parent Edline account, please do so today. This is our primary means of communication and how you stay informed about what's happening at CCHS. I'd like to remind you about some important and fun events this week. All parents are invited to the Parents Association meeting on Wednesday, October 1. We need parent volunteers to make our school events successful. Come out and see how you can help. On Thursday, we will have our second annual Designer Bag Bingo. There are still tickets available for this fun night with fabulous prizes. See our website for details. Finally, this weekend we will celebrate homecoming. Our homecoming football game is this Friday evening with our homecoming dance on Saturday night. Both nights prove to be great fun for the CCHS community. Finally, I would like to thank you for your support of our Ten Week Club Raffle. This is our all school fundraiser and helps us to continue to provide our students an excellent Catholic school education. Your participation in this raffle is important to our school. Have a wonderful week,
Heather Crisci
