Charleston Middle & High School will be phasing out the old gray PE shirts beginning next school year. If you already have a gray one, you won't be required to purchase the new black shirt with updated design unless you want to, but we would like all incoming/new students to get the new one. Pre-ordered shirts will be available for pick up at the start of the school year. Please send any questions to cusd1_cte@charleston.k12.il.us
These can be ordered at: https://chs-industries-104518.square.site/shop/trojan-design/6

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, be sure to thank a teacher that has inspired you! "Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher."
Mrs. Spanhook's 5th grade class at Jefferson Elementary School had a very special visitor yesterday: Wanda Ruyle, a former teacher at the original Jefferson Elementary School building. Wanda is quickly approaching her 103rd Birthday, and one of her wishes was to get back in the classroom. The students were thrilled to meet her, and they all got to ask her lots of questions. She was equally excited to get to share some of her wisdom with them and answer their questions. Happiest of Birthdays to you, Mrs. Ruyle! Thank you for your love and dedication to education!
Putting on band aids, stopping a bloody nose,
Handing out ice packs, providing a change of clothes.
Tirelessly helping others all day long,
Always there to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Our students & staff are safer because of you,
Thank you, School Nurses, for all that you do!
✏️🍎 Happy National Teacher Appreciation Day to all of our phenomenal Charleston educators! Thank you for being Number One! ♥️💛
Happy National School Principals Day to our favorite local leaders! We are truly blessed with the best!
