WOW! More than 4,000 items were collected during CDHS’ November food drive! We turned it into a class competition and gave out points each week based on how many items were donated, with extra points awarded for special weekly items such as paper towels. The sophomores came out on top with a total of 2,132 items donated and they will receive a grade-wide prize (TBD). Thank you to all the students, parents and faculty who helped make the food drive an overwhelming success!




This past Saturday November 20th, this group of students were selected based off of their NYSSMA scores to have the opportunity to perform with students from schools all over Zone 8, at Area All State in the Treble Chorus and Mixed Chorus.
Senior citizens are invited to a free holiday concert and turkey dinner at CDHS on Wednesday, December 1, 2021.

The new Strategy Board Game Club at CDHS is holding a fundraiser to help build their game library. Currently they have two games and are looking to expand their library with new games to play. If you need any kitchen items, considering stopping by the Board Game Club’s Pampered Chef page: www.pamperedchef.com/party/allisonmanoli1116

Have you been to the middle/high school lately? The new combined entrance and outdoor seating look amazing! Not only is it more convenient but we love how modern and sophisticated it looks. There's also a new visitor parking loop in front of the entrance that is separated from buses and other traffic for enhanced safety.




These individuals make us better and moving little by little in the right directions #PBIS #recognizetheexceptional #recognizewhatmatters

25 students were trained to be peer leaders for Sources of Strength, a student organization that focuses on mental health awareness. They will work to find ways to be mentors among their peers and help them find their sources of strength, which could be mentors, family support, healthy activities, spirituality and more. The ultimate goal of SOS is to prevent suicide, bullying, and substance abuse through the power of these peer social networks.

Senior portraits are happening this week. iSmile Studios are doing a great job with our wonderful seniors! Can’t wait until graduation. It’ll be here before we know it #Angela #CDHS
