🎓 2026 CCHS Senior Salute: Cayden Craig 🎓

"School nurses are often the first place a student thinks to go when they don't feel well or have been hurt. But they also provide a wealth of information that supports a successful education as well. The observance reminds us of all the reasons the nurse is available to your school," (NationalDayCalendar.com). From medication to band-aids to providing resources for children and families, our school couldn't operate without the diligence of our nurse.
Thank you to our nurse Miss Stacy Withrow for always being there for our students!
