CCHS students in the Project-Based Learning classes put the finishing touches on a memorial garden beside the school. The space began as a memorial to teacher Tom Buchanan, who passed away from COVID. Buchanan's widow, Misty, who also taught at CCHS, happened to be at school one day and saw the students' work. It has been expanded to serve as a peaceful spot for reflection and calm.

"We feel things went really well on our first pick-ip date and were able to feed 638 children in those six hours," said Assistant Food Services Director Lisa Payton. "We are hoping to streamline the process and operate more as a drive-thru service."
As a result, families need to circle around the Middle School building so that you will exit the line at Fourth and Seminary streets after getting your box(es). You’ll pull up to the tented area and a staff member will come to your car to get your child(ren)’s information, load your boxes for you and then you’ll be on your way. Please be patient with our staff if we ask you to move your vehicle to come in the other direction.
Thank you for participating with our Summer Feeding Program and allowing us to feed your children! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Angela Adkins, Food Service Director, or Lisa Payton, Assistant FS Director at 502-732-9362.
