CMS Food Drive
The weeks of April 22nd and April 29th, CMS is going to have a food collection to benefit TABLE.
Please consider donating from this list of most needed foods for kids in and around Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Donation bins are at the school entrances so students can drop off when they come to school. Our volunteers will pick them up 1-2 times a week to drop off at TABLE.
New this year is a POSTER MAKING CONTEST
There will be a 1st, 2nd, 3rd place prize for EACH GRADE LEVEL.
Flyers with judging rubric and Food Insecurity Fast Facts will be available beginning Monday April 8 in the Front Office, Student Services, and Advisories
Please encourage your student's participation both by donating and in the poster competition!
This helps kids understand their larger world, their place in it, and the impact they can have. Ms. Mazva-Cohen will have posterboard and markers for students who have limited access to these supplies at home.
The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Public School Foundation’s Breakfast & Roses fundraiser is honoring ALL school staff at the end of April with a gift of appreciation, notes of thanks to teachers and staff, and funds to support vital programs for schools!

For 20 years, the Chapel Hill Restaurant Group has sponsored this event to support all CHCCS employees – every person who contributes to our children's growth and education! Here’s how you can help:

Classroom Grants (hoping to increase funds available next school year)
Staff Awards for Excellence (over 70 awards are sponsored by Breakfast & Roses)
National Boards Assistance (reimbursement of fees paid to become certified)
