Chester 139 Community:
CGS hopes that our students are enjoying their extended break while staying warm and safe! We eagerly anticipate their return! Last week would have marked the beginning of a new session of "Throwback Thursdays" and "Fun Fact Fridays" for CGS students and teachers. Although we couldn't kick off the festivities as usual, we wanted to give students and their families a chance to join in on the fun! We invited CGS staff members to share a "fun fact" about their younger selves from their grade school days. From these submissions, we randomly selected 5 entries and created a quiz featuring them. These 5 entries have automatically entered their class for a chance to win this month's Throwback Thursday pizza party! Below are the quiz link and the criteria for participating in "Throwback Friday!" Have fun, and we look forward to seeing everyone soon! ✌️😎
🔸Families must provide an email address and the name of a CGS student for their quiz response to be valid.
🔸To win, all five questions must be answered correctly.
🔸Correct answer participants will be placed into a drawing, and a winner will be chosen. The winning student's class/homeroom will receive cookies and a gift basket, which includes a $25 Target gift card for their teacher.
🔸The family member who entered the winning student will receive some Yellow Jacket Swag.
🔸The winner and their class/homeroom will be announced next week during morning announcements.
🔸"Throwback Friday" quizzes must be submitted by tomorrow evening (Sunday, January 12th)

CHS: NEW PROFESSOR SHARP CAFETERIA EXTERIOR SIGNAGE
Chester High School just had exterior signage installed identifying our Professor Sharp Cafeteria. Professor Sharp, CHS 1954 alum, continues to support our students and staff. This project started more than two years ago, with a goal focused on finding a way to honor Professor Sharp in a big way. The naming of the cafeteria was never fully identified and did not have proper insignia. Our hope being that the Chester community and those that are visiting will connect not only that the space is identified as the Professor Sharp Cafeteria, but also why. Recently Professor Sharp donated a bronze plaque to help the community better understand the man that has accomplished so much and given back to the community he came from. We appreciate the role model he is for our students as well as his generosity to our facility and community.
The final picture is renderings of what the soon to be completely renovated Sharp Media Center will look like. We are in phase two of this 3 phase project. Starting early this year, construction crews will be taking over the area and completing phase two which will leave only the furniture and technology upgrades to go. Keep posted for future update so exciting changes at CHS!
