The Cherryvale FBLA Chapter hosted their annual Trick-or-Treat for Canned Goods yesterday evening. This year they brought back the concept of dressing up in Halloween costumes as a competition among groups, so check out those costumes! FBLA would also like to thank the community for their generous donations to the Food Bank, as they collected close to 400 items to donate!
CMHS students traveled to Caney today for the Reality U experience. Reality U is a life based simulation where students are assigned an occupation and work around the facility to explore the cost of living and and expenses that affect a family budget. Thank you Caney Valley Schools for partnering with USD 447 schools for this amazing opportunity. Two take always from today: 1) We have amazing kids. That was confirmed by the director of the Reality U program. 2) Students should be coming home with a better perspective of a family budget and hopefully a Thank you to parents. Go Chargers.
On 10/18/2023 CMHS held our annual National Honor Society Induction Ceremony and Academic Letter Award winners. This was attended by the entire student body and parents that were available to attend. Our students looked great and it was nice to recognize so many students for success in the classroom.
Very few professionals truly like to be in the lime light. But today, here at CMHS, Mr. Villarreal had a student in distress, jumped into action, performed the Heimlich and possibly helped overt a bad situation. We have a district full of adults that love kids. I am proud to be able to work with these amazing professionals daily. Go Chargers.

Cherryvale High School Freshman Class Explores Phillips 66 and Price Tower!
Our recent field trip to Phillips 66 in Bartlesville, OK was led by one of our own – Brooke Blaes, a 2015 Cherryvale alumni and the daughter of Melanie Blaes, a dedicated aide at Lincoln Central Library.
Here are the highlights of the students enriching day:
1. **Price Tower Exploration**: Our journey began with a visit to the iconic Price Tower, the only skyscraper designed by the legendary American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Witnessing Wright's architectural genius up close was inspiring.
2. **Phillips 66 Museum**: Next on our agenda was the Phillips 66 Museum, where we delved into the company's rich history and groundbreaking contributions to the energy industry.
3. **Career Panel Discussion**: The most insightful part of our day was the engaging career panel discussion. Thanks to Brooke's meticulous planning, we had the privilege of learning from professionals, including Brooke, at Phillips 66. This experience broadened students' horizons and revealed the diverse career opportunities within the company.
4. **Phillips Office Building Tour**: To wrap up our memorable trip, we were treated to an exclusive tour of the Phillips office building. This behind-the-scenes glimpse into the corporate world was truly impressive. We explored an underground tunnel system, a top-notch gymnasium, a bowling alley, a fitness room, and even an indoor competitive swimming pool!
Our field trip was a valuable educational experience that opened the student's eyes to exciting career possibilities. A special shoutout to Brooke Blaes for her outstanding planning and to Phillips 66 for welcoming us with open arms and providing us with this enlightening opportunity.
October 5th is World Teacher's Day - a day to recognize educators around the globe. The theme this year is - "Education is a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change in our world." Thank you to all USD 447 teachers for all the hard work you do for our students in our part of the world!
CMHS hosted the Regional FCCLA Conference on October 4. What a productive day of enhancing leadership skills and comradery. Miss Kansas even made an appearance.
Juniors traveled to Emporia State University to attend their first ever Cybercon event to kickoff the start of a new Cybersecurity program at ESU. Students learned about what cybersecurity is and why it is a growing career field in today's technological society. They were also able to visit booths to see some of the technologies and activities ESU has to offer such as eGaming, virtual reality, and 3D printing.CMHS
