Chase Middle - Can Food Drive

Our annual Can Food drive is in full swing. The Chase Middle School can food drive has been a tradition for close to 20 years. We are proud to do this community service project each and every year to help those in need. We are collecting can food and non- perishable food items (ramen noodles, Mac and cheese cups) until December 21st. The homeroom from each grade with the most cans collected will be rewarded with an Ice Cream party. The homeroom with the most cans collected in the entire school will be rewarded with a Pizza Party. We encourage you to turn in canned food items to your homeroom teacher or to the PE department each and every day. Thank you and Happy Holidays.”

Please note if you have a child playing basketball or a spring sport they must now meet the middle school academic requirements for NC Middle Schools.  (must be passing 3 out of 4 of their courses each SEMEMSTER (this will be the combined average of the first three grading periods this school year).

Our district recently updated the athletic section of this policy to align with our two other counties to ensure we all are following the same guidelines.  The new revisions are now in the administrative regulations for policy 3620.
