🐻💜 Happy National Mascot Day! 💜🐻

Today, we celebrate the mascots who bring energy, spirit, and pride to our schools, teams, and communities. Mascots do more than entertain—they help create connections, foster a sense of belonging, and unite us around shared experiences.

At CHBS, we're proud to be part of the Bear community and grateful for the spirit and tradition that our mascot represents. Whether cheering on students, supporting campus events, or bringing smiles to faces, mascots remind us that community and connection matter.

Here's to the mascots who inspire school pride and make every day a little more fun!

🎉 Happy Birthday, U.S. Army! 🎉

At CHBS, we are grateful for the dedication of Army service members, veterans, military families, and our own ROTC community who embody leadership, resilience, and a commitment to serving others.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice. Join us in wishing the U.S. Army a very happy 251st birthday! 🎂⭐

🐱💜 National Hug Your Cat Day 💜🐱

Today is the perfect excuse to give your feline friend a little extra love! Cats may be known for their independence, but spending time with pets can have a positive impact on mental health by helping reduce stress, lower anxiety, and provide comfort and companionship.

Whether your cat enjoys cuddles, head scratches, or simply sitting nearby, take a moment today to appreciate the joy they bring to your life.

At CHBS, we know that caring for your mental well-being can come in many forms—including the comfort of a furry friend. 🐾
