CMHS Mission Statement
We, the faculty of CMHS, believe our purpose is to challenge and prepare students to become productive,
responsible citizens. We will encourage students within a caring and challenging community to set achievable
2
goals and strive to reach these goals through personal excellence.
Please join HOSA in our “Sock Drive” to help the Senior Citizens in our community!
Socks for Seniors is a non-profit community service project that organizes, collects
and distributes NEW socks for seniors in communities all over the country.
The holidays are a fun time of year with all the holiday work parties, family
gatherings, meetings with old friends topped off with all the bells, whistles, hustle
and bustle of the season. It's the friendliest and most giving time of year but, for
some it can also be a depressing time of year and our seniors can get lost in the
shuffle.
Each year, thousands of lonely and financially challenged seniors struggle with the
holiday blues. They dread facing the holiday season alone - some being without
family or friends, some with the isolation of being a widow or widower. Some
seniors just being away from children and grandchildren produces extreme
loneliness that's exaggerated by festivities of the season.
Socks for Seniors and CHS Health Academy have one priority this Holiday Season
and that is to bring holiday cheer along with a pair of new socks to warm the hearts
and cover the cold feet of our elderly seniors. The Socks for Seniors program
benefits those living alone and in nursing homes and yes even those seniors that are
homeless.
Donation boxes are located in the CHS office, Library and in Mrs. Beauchamp
classroom.
