23. Outstanding Cardinals I wanted to take a moment to recognize the students at CHS in regard to their manners, generosity, and willingness to help, with no expectations in return. As you all know, I continue to be on a walker, recovering in strength, from my summer knee replacement. There is always someone that will run to open a door for me, or holler out “May I help you with anything? ” This is so commendable, and personally appreciated. It speaks volumes as to what the entire district staff has modeled to our students. GREAT JOB!! Ms. Montgomery- CHS Special Education
