Announcements
Atlanta Food Bank

The Service and Outreach Committee for the Chamblee High School PTSA is partnering with the Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) to hold our 2nd Annual School-wide Food Drive, requesting both food and monetary donations. The ACFB helps to distribute over 65 million meals across metro Atlanta and North Georgia. Let’s join together again as a community to help end hunger and fight food scarcity in Georgia! Last year we donated 1,026 lbs of food and $250 to the ACFB. With your help, we know we can top that this year! 

 

The food drive will be held April 11-21.  Please bring in food items during these dates and place in the Food Bank bins provided at the entrances to school.  Don't forget to ask how you can earn Service Hours with your Club!  If you would like to contribute monetarily, click on this link: https://give.acfb.org/team/491032.  Thank you for your help!


The Flow Project

Be on the lookout for this logo in the hallways! If you are ever in need of free period products throughout the school day, stop by a classroom or office space with this logo outside the door, then find the blue basket inside with the logo on it to grab the products you need! Contact Maggie Council for any additional information!

SENIOR LEGACY GIFT

Commemorating Chamblee High School is a proud tradition of the Senior Class. This year, with your help, we will continue our Senior Class Legacy by bestowing a gift to the school in honor of the Class of 2023. The Class of 2008 began our beautification projects with the commitment of making our school campus more welcoming, attractive, and informative. You can view a list of all the previous Senior legacy projects on the Blue & Gold website.  


The Class of 2023, along with The Blue & Gold Foundation, would like to purchase additional indoor coated entry mats for several doors into CHS. These mats are custom designed with our Bulldog logo and will say “Class of 2023” on them. You can follow this link to view them, or many of you may have seen the mats we have currently in place throughout the school.
