Movember Fundraiser
On Tuesday, November the 29th, CHSS hosted a Movember fundraising shave-off auction with all proceeds to go to Prostate Cancer Canada. The students of CHSS enthusiastically got into the spirit of bidding and raised an amazing $2270 in only one hour! Several male staff and students had let nature paint a picture on their face for the month of November, so there were many moustaches and beards to be shaved off. Top bid of the day went to shave Mr. Shore’s head! A surprise bid to paint facial hair on the Vice-Principal and Principal’s face was a crowd pleaser, so they also had the chance to paint the face of our student council president, Lexi Cook and student council representative, Amber Brodie.
A special thanks goes out to all those brave boys and men of CHSS who volunteered to be shaved for charity in front of the entire student body. We would also like to thank Matt Chalmers for working the sound and video booth, Jasmine deBoer for taking all the photos for the webpage, and Tim Horton’s for donating a gift bag that was auctioned off, as well as The Village Barber in Blyth for lending us a cape and beard trimmer. Thanks to Joey Lawson for creating the Prostate Cancer slideshow that was shown before the auction began. The goodwill, friendly competition of bidding and overall generosity of the students of CHSS will not soon be forgotten. Thanks to all for a successful fundraiser for a great cause. Going once, going twice, sold.

Students Versus Staff Hockey
This year's student / staff hockey game buyout proved to be a fantastic success once again, raising over $1,300 for the Huron County Christmas Bureau. In a well fought battle involving a couple of teachers falling by the wayside with injuries, the staff proved victorious with a narrow 2-1 victory.

Commencement and Awards Ceremony
Commencement - /kə ˈmɛns mənt/ (noun) the act of starting something...
Graduation is typically seen as an ending, the celebration of completion and accomplishment. We reflect on the achievement of the students and take pride that we—whether parents, teachers, friends, or employers—may have played some role in helping them arrive successfully at the culmination of their high school years.
The ceremony of Commencement, however, does not mark an ending, but a beginning. Whether they are entering the world of work, university, or college, students face world of new opportunities and decisions as they enter adulthood. For me as a teacher, there is no more gratifying school event than Commencement. This ceremony is a celebration of our purpose as educators. Seeing the excitement and pride of the students who return for this event after having had a taste of their new lives fills me with renewed energy for my job.
Congratulations to the award winners and to the graduating class of 2011.

CHSS Students Help in Goderich Relief Effort
On Saturday September 10, CHSS students set out to wash cars in Goderich with the sole interest of receiving donations for Goderich Relief. From 8 am to 12 pm, our kids srcubbed cars, chamoised exteriors and enjoyed a great day of camaraderie. Jay of J's Car Wash was impressed with the positive and respectful attitudes of the students involved. These kids were wonderful to work with! It was a great feeling to know we had made approximately $675.00 which was matched with a partner agency.
Thank you to the following students for making this an amazing day:
Jaci Van Altena, Jason Bruneault, Ondrea de Jong, Grady Semple, Ethan Scott, Jessie and Dylan Walton, Taylor Watson, and of course, Councillor David Yates.
A special thank you to Bow Wow Kennels and Js car wash.
Thank you to everyone for a great day!

"...And We're Off!"
It was another very sucessful fundraising day at the Charity Driver's Challenge of the Clinton Raceway held on Sunday, Sept. 18. Staff and students were there to get started on fundraising for our Gr. 10 Challenge Days on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. We managed to raise $2 665.21 through a Silent Auction, Bake Sale, 50/50 Draw, Car Wash, Face Painting and Popcorn sale. This is the third year that we have partnered with the Clinton Raceway in our efforts to bring this life changing experience of Challenge Day to our Grade 10s. In the past, the drivers from that day have generously donated a portion of their winnings to our fundraising efforts too. Thank you to the Clinton Raceway, CHSS staff & students (special mention to Ethan Scott) and community members who donated or helped at the Races!
