✨ CHMS is Proud to Partner with the Franklin County Blessing Bag Network! ✨

Food insecurity doesn’t stop after 5th grade, and neither do we. 💙

We are excited to announce that Central Heights Middle School is teaming up with the K-5 Franklin County Blessing Bag Network to extend weekend Blessing Bags to students in 6th–8th grade who may be facing food scarcity at home.

These Blessing Bags provide simple, ready-to-eat items and snacks to help carry students through the weekend, because no student should have to worry about where their next meal comes from.

If you would like to support this effort through donations, volunteering, or helping spread the word, please reach out and share! Together, we can make sure our Vikings are fed, cared for, and lifted up. ⚔️💙 If enough donations come in, we will make sure they make it to the other area middle schools in Franklin County, as well!

Thank you to the Franklin County Blessing Bag Network for your continued heart for our youth.

Community takes care of community. 🫶

Juniors across Franklin County united in an effort to learn about civic, career, and college opportunities available in their local communities across the county, as part of the annual Franklin County Career Day event. Students were able to experience some of the duties and responsibilities firsthand, participate in team building, and hear from local agencies, civic leaders, employers, and educators in our area. What a day!

The middle school Lady Vikings battled hard last night at a tough tournament, bringing home two second-place medals!

Emery Hughes went 1-1 on the night, winning by major decision in her first match before a tough loss in the finals.
Harley Peine also finished 1-1, earning a win by decision before a loss in the championship by technical fall.
Elizabeth Meyer showed real determination, taking her first match to overtime (11-14) and dropping her second by major decision.

Proud of the effort, fight, and Viking spirit these girls brought to the mat.
