Dear CHB Families,
2020-2021 has been an extraordinary year in so many ways. As a PTA, we have continued to provide amazing experiences for our kids. In order to continue providing our students and community with these enriching activities, we always need your time and volunteerism, but we also need your financial support. The Envelope Fundraiser will be our only fundraiser this year. Thank you for your support.
There are 250 envelopes ranging from $10 to $1000.
From the received donation submissions, we will draw a number of winners who will win some awesome CHB Spirit Wear!
