The students in Mr. Shipley's Intro to Industry class recently auctioned off a handmade American flag. The flag was made out of recycled pallet wood. The students pulled apart the pallets, fastened the individual boards together, notched out the edges of each stripe, sanded, primed, and painted the flag.
Dr. Lane purchased the flag through the auction and donated the flag back to CHS to be put on display in the trophy hall foyer of Trout Arena. In addition, the students donated half of the money they earned to the Veteran's organization, K9's for Warriors. They chose this charity because K9's for Warriors rescues animals from kill shelters and trains them to serve veterans who are dealing with negative mental and physical effects of their service to our country. We are proud of these students and appreciate Superintendent Dr. Lane's generosity for the cause.
