A LETTER FROM CHS FOUNDATION PRESIDENT, JASON PAYNE

The past year as CHSF president has been a great experience and I’m proud of what the CHS Foundation has accomplished. I want to thank all that supported us this year, but especially vice president and silent auction queen Paula Cunningham, secretary and incoming president Amy Lowry, treasurer Malissa McGee, communications / IT guru Chris Herndon, our staff liaison Heidi Fulton, scholarship chair Alejandra Castenada, hospitality Sandy Landerer, events / fundraising Tiffany Rapp, past president and spiritual advisor Colleen Kleege, Principal Williams, and my wife Micki who supported me taking this second (unpaid) job and handled the organization of grad night at Disney.


We would love some new parents to be involved with the Foundation. We always need help with different events, and we are in need of a new secretary. Check us out on the web at chsfoundation.info, or email clairemonthsf@gmail.com.

If you missed our Spring Fling fundraiser in May at Brick x Brick, you missed a great party for a good cause. This event raised over $9,000 for CHS. Hope to see you next year!

Go Chiefs,

Jason Payne
