Happy Memorial Day Weekend from CHS! I can smell the BBQ already. Although the mass exodus from Seattle is inevitable, the Hill (probably) won’t be deserted. Have an event we should know about? Post it to the CHS Calendar. Crack open that ginger beer and relish in the fact that this Monday you can ignore your alarm clock. Unless you have to work. And then you can’t.
