Big shout out to Sonic of Cherryvale for helping CMHS celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week.

Thursday was a big day for Cherryvale High School junior Morgan Lasco, who learned that one of her artistic paintings will soon adorn the walls in the office of U.S. Rep. Jacob LaTurner in Washington, D.C. Lasco submitted her painting, which she titled “Freedom and Rebirth,” in a congressional art competition sponsored by the Congressional Institute. Each U.S. congress member is allowed to sponsor an art competition featuring high school-aged artisans from their home districts. LaTurner picked four exhibits to be placed in his office as a public display of Kansas-grown talent. Lasco’s painting won first place in the Creativity division in LaTurner’s 2nd Congressional District of Kansas.

Cherryvale High School KAY Club Members completed their spring community service project today. Members worked at the depot fountain, downtown sidewalks, and at the park to beautify the area. They picked up sticks, trash, and other debris. Members also did a huge overhaul at the depot fountain area that included: pulling weeds, weed eating, edging sidewalks, power washing away the dirt and grime, and worked hard to unearth the brick sidewalk that had been taken over by weeds and grass. This is just Phase 1 of their project. The middle school KAY Club will complete Phase 2 next Friday.
