After Prom Information is On the Way
Next week, all students will be bringing home a letter addressed to “Parent/Guardian” about the After Prom event sponsored by the CHS PTSA. The letters will be distributed to students in their English class. Prom is an exciting rite of passage for high school students but unfortunately, it can also become a night of celebrating with drugs and/or alcohol once Prom is over. The After Prom event is an alternative but we need your help to make it possible. Please ask your student about the letter so you can understand the event and how you can help.
