It is with great pleasure that I share my last blog of 2021 featuring highlights from our talented students; however, before I do, I feel compelled to acknowledge that we all suffer from some form of COVID exhaustion.
Still, recent events compel me to reiterate the importance of simple safety measures intended as an antidote to the inevitable relaxing of our senses that accompany two years of COVID mandates.
Wearing a mask is now a mode of consciousness that has become instinct, but the proper wearing of a mask (fully covering mouth and nose) lacks needed consistency. Also, I reiterate the importance of cleaning your personal space when arriving at a desk.
The nightly news spreads plenty of fear and anxiety. To counter pockets of grim, I encourage everyone to spreads a bit of joy more liberally than division and fear. If nothing else, the holidays should bring kindness; lest one not forget, often the shortest distance between two people is laughter, even if covered by a mask.
I sincerely hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday break. I look forward to 2022 with great optimism that our future will be better than our past. Come what may.

CCHS Music
Close to 200 instrumentalists and singers performed over the course of two concerts and students were excited to finally share their music with an audience; a luxury taken for granted no longer, as live performances were missed by all. Thank you to the CCHS community for your support and to our music families for making these nights so special for all involved. Congratulations to Deb, David, and to all those who make the event possible.
