To All our CHS musical family.
We are unfortunately reaching out to deliver some devastating news.
Drew Harteveld, one of the “Stage Crew Dads” members, died on Friday in a tragic accident. At this time we do not have much more information that we can share about the accident.

His family is obviously still processing all of this so it would be best to respect their privacy.
As soon as there is information regarding any funeral related arrangements we will pass that along.

We know many of the stage crew kids worked very closely with Drew. If any students need additional support please reach out Mr Sanchez who will connect you with a counselor.

Sending our love and support- Bethany, Britt, Tara and Marc

From Drew’s Family:
Crew are welcome to celebrate Drew’s life at their home. 42 Kendal ave Maplewood NJ on Tuesday at 3pm.
Please bring chairs.

These for sure would make the tech team smile!

“The sound team is just one of the many departments that are involved in staging a show. They do more than just play the sound cues, adjust the mixing of the system in the soundboard, and make your lavalier (or lapel) mics as inconspicuous as possible. Here are 6 ways to help them do their jobs......

Devistating news that the COVID-19 death in Maplewood was one of our own stage crew parents. Athalante Debrosse, mother to Frenchesca Gerard. Athalante, or Antoinette as she was sometimes known by, was a very dedicated single mother to our Frenchesca. She volunteered at our popcorn sales, brought in food to feed our kids, and was a very outstanding person.
In lieu of any other memorials, tributes, flowers or gifts, an educational fund has been established specifically for Frenchesca. Please make any donations to Fidelity Investments https://go.fidelity.com/u846p

If you would like to donate, just click on the above link and donate whatever you can. If you are not able to donate at this time, another effort will be planned for later, when travel and social restrictions have been lifted.

Our condolences go out to Frenchesca and her whole family. https://villagegreennj.com/obituaries/obituary-athalante-debrosse-44-amazing-mom-lived-a-life-of-love/
