Background and Summary:
|
Andy Jones, Director of Student Activities, and Aaron Eichort, Fine Arts Coordinator, will recognize the outstanding achievements of CHS students and groups who recently earned state or other honors.
In athletics, the indoor track team will be recognized for their remarkable success, with Sam Palmer and Elaina Pierce both capturing state titles in the 1600M. Elaina Pierce also won in the 1000M. Other top-five track finishers were Juliana Pierce (500M) and Oliver Jackson in the pole vault. CCS staff members Terrell Mulford and Erika Pierce coached and provided the support for these athletes in indoor track. Of the four wrestlers CHS sent to states, three medaled: Adriel Pena, Walter Pilkey, and Roman Calvani, all finishing in fifth place, guided by CCS staff coaches David Wilkerson and Joley Wood. Junior Avery Stavistski was named to the all-state first team for girls’ basketball. Junior Jacoby Lynch recently was the only competitor and finisher in his age group for the 50-mile Bel Monte Endurance race.
Aaron Eichorst, Director of Fine Arts, will recognize Londyn Phillips, grade 1, Jackson-Via; Nadia Salazar Fraire, grade 8, Buford; and Elias Amaya, grade 10, CHS, for being selected to represent Cville Schools in the Virginia School Boards Association Art Contest. In addition, he celebrated that CHS will once again be recognized as a Blue Ribbon School since the band, choir, and orchestra’s top groups all received superior ratings as their assessments. Band students Julia Crum and Michelle Wong earned spots in the All-State Band, and CHS Orchestra concertmaster Elle Polifka earned a spot in the All State Orchestra – she also directed the CHS choir while they received straight superiors at their assessment. Finally, Buford Orchestra earned superior scores from every judge and A’s in every sub category! (And last month we announced that 13 Buford students earned spots in the junior regional orchestra!) |
