Congratulations Grade 8

June Art Projects

Our students created a lot of amazing art for our campus this school year! Grades 3 – 5 sketched the playground equipment and invented new structures. They also built structures with rubber playground surface materials. Then they created fun sculptures and Dream Catchers from their collage bags.

The 6th graders built a monument to end the school year down by the creek on the CHP campus and the 7th Graders enjoyed decorating their own picture frames.

Painting Elective

This year students were able to choose some very creative courses for elective time. One of the electives was painting, which our students really enjoyed. Giving students quiet time for creativity lets their ideas flow right onto the canvas.

Painting Elective was one of many electives where students got to practice their unique talents and enjoy the end of each day!

Spanish Induction Ceremony

The American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP) has established the Hispanic Honor Society to recognize students who have academic excellence in the Spanish language. To receive the honorable crown of membership, students must meet the overall GPA standard of 90%, an average in Spanish of 92%, and a complete percentage of service to the school and community.

CHP schedules its annual induction of foreign language students for the fall of each year. However, 2023 graduates Roshabh Dagli and Ananya Mehta will be among the alumni by Fall 2023, so we found it fitting to honor them at this year’s awards ceremony.

They have met the above-mentioned GPA criteria, served their school as house leaders, and played a remarkable role in raising $983 in proceeds from the Pulsera Project sale which helped to fund social empowerment projects in Latin America.

As a result of their commendable academic performance, service to the school, and their service to the Latin American community, they were inducted into the middle school arm of the Hispanic Honor Society, Sociedad Hispanica de Amistad.

The Induction ceremony entailed the lighting of three candles representing their pledge to use the Spanish language to form friendships and serve their school and community. The AATSP has issued a Certificate of Membership to Ananya and Rishabh for this great accomplishment!

Thank you to our CHP family and friends for their continued support for the many events during the 2022 - 2023 school year!

Thank you for outstanding dedication and commitment: Karen Simmonds, Christine Smith, Linda Lai, Scott Richards, and Vanashri Joshi to include all the families that helped and attended all events.
