Service-oriented students bring joy to the community.

On December 12 & 13, the Cheatham County Central High School Beta and Key clubs volunteered at the Ashland City Civitan Christmas Anonymous store. The store provides a helping hand to Cheatham County residents who are faced with economic challenges. Not only did Cheatham County students help set up and take down the entire event, they also acted as personal shoppers (a.k.a. elves) for over 200 local families. The students were overwhelmed by the generosity of the community in equipping the store with wonderful gifts, coats, and books. More importantly, they witnessed true gratefulness in the hearts of the shoppers. 

One student overheard a visitor say that this would be the first Christmas she has been able to give her children in four years. Santa will be sliding down more Cheatham County chimneys this year due to the generosity of those contributing to Christmas Anonymous.

Cheatham County Central High School students rose to the challenge of raising money for Christmas Anonymous through a coin combat. 

According to Audra Fowler, dean of students, "The challenge was to put money in the teacher’s bucket you wanted to see pied. The kids knew the funds were supporting Christmas Anonymous."

Fowler said by Wednesday afternoon (December 10), students met their goal of $200, but it didn't stop there. 

Coach Nicholson and Ms. Balthrop had a fierce combat going, each raising nearly $100. Officer Proffitt also accepted the challenge by raising $200. 

Through this friendly competition, CCCHS students donated $540.00 to Christmas Anonymous. School officials said they are extremely proud of their student body and wish everyone a great Holiday!  #ccchsspirit
