Let the Summer Begin

The school year at CHA has come to an end. A rousing end-of-the year program, a comical production of “Night at the Wax Museum” and the emotional graduation of eight very outstanding seniors cap off an amazing year. Life is always interesting and engaging at CHA and this year was no exception. The teary good-byes and remembrances will long be etched in this writer’s heart.

Graduation at CHA is a special affair. Each senior is asked to assemble a two-minute slide show that recaps their life. Following the slide show, the senior speaks to the audience, offering advice to the rising seniors and thanks to parents, teachers and administrators. One senior reminisced about her years at CHA and the questions she had learned to ask…She began by asking “Who am I” and “Where am I going?” As she ended the speech, she again asked “Who am I” and answered by saying “I have no idea.” “Where am I going?” Again, she answered “I have no idea.” “But I have now learned the right questions to ask as I continue on this journey.” She realized that more information leads to more questions and that life is learning to ask and process and ask again. Students at CHA often end with more questions than they begin with and THAT IS THE POINT!

So, as we close the book on the 2009-10 school year, we look forward to next year…another senior class, a fall elementary school theatrical production, a spring high school theatrical production, a yearbook, a prom, a science fair and more books! Don’t forget the books
