Get Involved at CHS with Conestoga's Welcoming Committee!
8 th grade parents... Join us on the CHS Welcoming Committee for the 2019-2020 school year! Our goal is to reach out to families who are new to the district and ease their transition to the school and community. We connect new families with committee members who have children of similar ages, and we hold New Family Coffees once per month for those who are able to come. It's OK if you don't know much about the high school; your friendliness is what is most needed, and we learn a lot from each other at our monthly gatherings. If you speak another language, we also need multilingual speakers who are willing to assist new families in their native language. We are preparing now for the new families who will be arriving this summer and fall. For more info or to join the committee, contact Jen Marsala at jenmarsala@verizon.net. You are also invited to come and meet us at one of our upcoming New Family Coffees . The next coffee is on Friday, June 7 from 8-11 a.m. at Panera in the Gateway Shopping Center. Hope to see you there!
