Any interested students who would like to attend the CCM presentation should see Dr. Skerker.

ATHLETICS

Badgers Bowling-Week One Highlights: CHS hit the lanes in Boonton last week for our opening week of the Badgers Bowling Intramural League. It was an amazing week with some personal bests and quite a few bowlers breaking the elusive 100 mark!

Now that we have one week under our belt and a sense of our bowling rankings, in week 2 the competition ramps up leading us closer and closer to our CHS Bowling Tourney in March. There is still time for students to join us so any interested bowlers should see our Bowling Coordinator, Ms. Crum (JCrum@craigschool.org)
