The positive behavior reward event was a hit with our Pre-kindergarten students. Here are the instructions for washing the tye dyed socks:
Over the sink or tub, remove all rubber bands to reveal your creations! Rinse each item under warm water, rinsing out excess dye.
Be sure to wash items right after rinsing as colors can bleed into the white if they sit and will stain those areas. If you need to wait, it’s best to lay your item flat in the meantime so wet colors don’t run onto other parts of the fabric.
You want to wash each item individually or with other items dyed in similar color(s) with nothing else in the machine. Set load to normal, water to hot, and add a small amount of detergent and vinegar.
Dry items without a dryer sheet. Single items can stick to the wall of the dryer so if you have a tennis ball, you can throw it in with the item to ensure it dries all the way. (Wash your creations individually for the next wash or two to prevent remaining dye from staining other items.)
We love our kitchen staff at CHES!

The Vikings are going back to the State Track & Field Meet! It feels incredible to say that again after having the 2020 season cancelled. All around, the team had a great day with personal bests in the Javelin, Shot Put and many more on the track. Qualifying first was the boys 4x800 relay. They were seeded 5th going in (top four qualify) and were a solid five seconds behind the closest team on paper so they knew they would have to improve, plain and simple. They picked a great time for their best performance on the track by setting a season best mark by 22 seconds and taking 3rd. It was incredible to watch and even better to see their joy after it was official. Taryn followed up with yet another stellar performance in the 100m hurdles to capture a Regional Runner up as well as a personal best. She followed that up by coming within 0.06 seconds of her best in the 300m hurdles to qualify in 3rd in a stacked race. Lily’s 800m was brilliant from start to finish. She had been working her way into some new events this season and she picked a great day to drop her 800m time by 10 seconds for a lifetime best 2:37 and a 2nd place finish. Wrapping up the day, Luke Cotter’s technical mastery of the 3200 worked in his favor once again by easily capturing a 4th place qualifying mark and picking up another PR in the process. With the end of the season a looming possibility today, the heart and determination these kids brought explains exactly why their season continues and will instead end on the biggest stage next weekend in Wichita.
KC club members are preparing care packages for the Richmond Retirement home. Thank you to all that donated supplies to help.
The softball games for today have been postponed. They have been rescheduled for tomorrow at 11:00 at Paola.
