Remember the orphanages in Ukraine that we sent hats and gloves to last winter? Well, we just were notified that one of the buildings which houses several children and a few families has suffered a disastrous fire. This orphanage needs about $60,000 to replace the building and CHCS would like to join with others who are helping by running a 2 week loose change collection for emergency assistance. Students will be bringing home a paper sleeve which can be wrapped around a drink bottle and used to collect spare change until the end of April. On May 2nd, students may bring their change bottles in to school.
