The next time you’re at CHS, stop by seat L14 to say hi to Jolene. Our beloved crossing guard, Jolene Corry, passed away suddenly last June. Jolene has been a constant at the Osborne & Harvard intersection since December of 2009. She was a Maplewood resident. Thank you to Achieve Foundation’s Take a Seat program for keeping her memory alive.

TONIGHT!

NEXT WEEK!
Starting preschool or kindergarten is a thrilling (and a seriously ADORABLE) major milestone. But it can also be anxiety-inducing, especially for families of children with disabilities. Join us on Tuesday, May 26th, to learn more about what to expect next year and how to help your child (and YOU!) ease the transition to a new environment with new expectations. Our panel of district supervisors, school staff members, and veteran parents will share tips and strategies and lead the discussion.

Tuesday 5/26 @ 7pm
