CHS STUDENTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Students from Ms. Leonetti's AP Literature and Ms. Sheldon's Spanish III classes worked to donate items and fundraise $285 for World Relief - a local organization that helps refugees come to the Spokane area. Jackson, pictured with the students, is a refugee from Sudan who shared his story with these classes while they were reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns" and "The Kite Runner." He now works for World Relief and recently went to Bangladesh to visit the refugee camps there.

Click on the headline above to take a look at the video that one of our parents took when the Cheney High School choir students had the opportunity to perform at Disneyland on April 26th. They also participated in a choral workshop where they got to work with a renowned clinician and record vocal tracts to several Disney movies as if they were hired musicians. What an experience for these talented young people!
