Donating Through School Fundraising Programs

Various student groups or clubs may run fundraising efforts within the community to raise funds for a project, special event, or for their program. Please contact the main office if you have any questions about an advertised fundraiser.

Maintaining equal educational opportunities and supporting the district’s programs guide all decisions about fundraising at CHS and all schools in our district.

School Board Policy DEDA allows for fundraising for programs, activities, and projects throughout the school district. All approved fundraising projects must meet the following criteria:

  1. All fundraising activities must be pre-approved by a CHS administrator.
  2. All fundraising programs, activities, or facility improvements will remain under the direct control of the district.
  3. Under no circumstances will students or staff be coerced or compelled to participate in fundraising activities. Students may not be barred or otherwise penalized because of a refusal to participate in fundraising activities conducted on behalf the district.
