This year has been a hard one, as we have battled to keep our students in school either in-person or remote learning.
 CMS staff wanted to brighten this Christmas holiday season for our students. We asked for donations, to make sure every student gets a gift this year. As you know, not all of our students will receive Christmas gifts this year, unless we as a community step up.
 Our goal was to spread some Chick PRIDE and give all 300 students a Chickasha Beanie. The beanies have been printed locally by Wing T’s. We would not have been able to reach our goal without the donations from several businesses and individuals. Also, we received a wonderful surprise from Cotton Patch Cafe of Chickasha. Cotton Patch donated a meal voucher for each student to be included in the individual gifts, and we are thankful for Ross Feed and Seed for donating gift bags.
  Monetary donations helped purchase all of the beanies for our students at CMS. These monetary donations are from: Richards Printing, BJ’s Restaurant, Rock Island Grill, Lopez & Sons Roofing, Buzin Law Office, Dr. Pepper Royal Crown Bottling Co., CMSWillowbrook, Inc, and Jeremy & Kea Ginn.
 We at CMS want to thank each and every one of our donors for helping make this possible for our students. We could not have done this without you. So from the bottom of our Purple and Gold Hearts, “Thank You and GO CHICKS!!!”.
