Beta Club.
Beta club is collecting canned food items and paper products (toilet paper, for example) for the Olive Branch Food Ministry and Holly Springs’ victims. Donations can be dropped off in Ms. Stanley’s room, C14, or any classroom that has a designated box for these items. The drive will run until the middle of February.

The book club will meet on Monday, February 29 at 7:50 in room C-10. All are invited.

At the last Science Club meeting, we observed different forms of electromagnetic waves in various experiments. One of the experiments included using microwaves to power a light bulb in a beaker of water.

The next practice will be February 11, 4:00-5:00 pm. If you are interested in playing, please plan to attend the next practice or see Mrs. Jones.
Winterguard.
On Saturday, January 30, Center Hill will be hosting the first Winterguard competition of the season, not to mention the first competition Center Hill has ever hosted. This is a huge accomplishment for our Guard and CHHS as a whole. After school, the Varsity and JV have been working extremely hard to create and execute a show Center Hill will be proud of, so come out and support your CHHS Winter Guard.
The recognition and earnings from the show will help to improve Center Hill’s band program in many ways.
