CONGRATULATIONS to our High School Writing Club who are this year’s CSAA Language Arts Activities League CHAMPIONS!
Writing Club participates in three competitions each year. This year’s writing competitions included descriptive writing, editorial writing, and poetry. Out of 6 teams, our Warriors finished first in descriptive writing, second in editorial, and tied for third in poetry, earning them the first-place overall standing! This is the first time Chippewa Hills has earned the league championship!
The last two years have been rebuilding years for the Writing Club as seniors have graduated and younger club members have brought in more friends to participate. Most of the students who join Writing Club do so during their junior or senior years, but we have had a few who joined as freshmen and encouraged their friends to join as well. Writing Club often holds a poetry reading as an end of the year celebration at The Corner Cup, which is a great location to read poetry while enjoying a treat!

It’s National School Resource Officers Day!
We’re sending a very special thank you to our School Resource Officer, Deputy Jason Losinski from the Mecosta County Sheriff’s Office, for his ongoing support for the students of Chippewa Hills.
SROs bridge the gap between youth and law enforcement, embracing a triad concept of school policing by serving in informal counseling, educational, and law enforcement roles to support the students and communities they serve. They are invaluable and essential members of the education community, deserving unwavering respect and support from the public in the pursuit of maintaining safe schools and protecting students.
Deputy Losinski, thank you for all you do for our Warriors!
