Students in Mrs. Lane's Introduction to Business classes have recently learned about professional business correspondences. Students were challenged to write a professional letter to a celebrity or business that they admired. Tiya Patel, a sophomore in Mrs. Lane's class, was the first to receive a response from the Chick-fil-a franchisee, Mr. David Boykin, of the Statesboro restaurant. Thank you, Chick-fil-a! #LifeSkils #BlackAndGoldBuildingSuccess #TheDEN

The calendar pages are flipping quickly on the 23-24 school year, and our Work-Based Learning students are keeping pace! I was able to spend a few of those quickly passing moments with senior Simone Eason at her job at Southern Family Medicine. Simone works at the front desk, and she completes tasks from appointment reminders to greeting patients to answering the nurse line. She has learned skills that will transfer to the next phase of life. After graduation, Simone plans to attend Savannah State University and major in communications. Her time in this role at Southern Family Medicine has provided a great foundation for her future path. Way to go, Simone! You make CHS proud! #RealLife #TheDEN #BlackAndGoldBuildingSuccess

Just before spring break, The DEN hosted this year's Annual Chamber of Commerce Banquet. The CHS cafeteria was transformed into a beautiful venue, and Culinary Arts provided catering for the event. The meal, prepared for the 165 ticket holders, consisted of a mixed greens salad dressed in a vinaigrette, smoked ham, mushroom smothered chicken breasts, garlic whipped potatoes, squash casserole, green beans, warm rolls, and banana pudding. The DEN is grateful for this opportunity to serve our community! #TheDEN
