CHS: Faculty & Staff Thank You to Dairy Queen of Chester
The faculty and staff of Chester High School would like to thank Scott Rust and Dairy Queen of Chester for the donation of the Dilly Bars today, Friday January 26th, 2024. Not only were they the perfect end of a great week at the high school, they also brought back so many memories of the iconic treat we grew up with.
Today CHS celebrated one of our teachers battling health concerns. Ms. Bartley has spent the last 4 years with us teaching mathematics. She came out of retirement in Missouri to help out Chester’s students at a time when the pandemic had taken its toll and math educators were in short supply. She has tirelessly worked through all types of conditions and holds herself and her students to high standards.
We had a surprise assembly wishing her well as she enters the next step of her journey. Throughout the year she has consistently put her students first and worked diligently to assure that they are now and will continue to be cared for and educated to the standards she upholds. Students and faculty provided notes and statements of appreciation and well wishes, looking forward to success and return to us.
CHS will be selling Multiple Myeloma Awareness Merch supporting Ms. B’s battle and proceeds from the sale will go to offset her medical expenses. The order forms are available in the CHS and CGS offices as well as a printable form in this post.
Completed order forms and payment to Chester High School main office (drop off or mail), with checks payable to Chester High School.
