From Mr. Frieze

Dear Faculty, Staff, CHS Alumni, Friends and Irish supporters, The tornado of June 11 may have destroyed the schools in Chapman, but it did not destroy our Irish pride! We have been met with a challenge but we remain determined. We are rebuilding our places of education in Chapman. After a tremendous effort by hundreds of people, classes began in the fall, albeit in temporary settings.  We are in phase II of our rebuilding plans.  We call this phase our, “Extreme Makeover of Chapman Schools.  Plans are well under way to provide the best possible learning environment to all of our students  and to rebuild all of our schools in Chapman.  After all, we are the Fighting Irish!

Many of you have expressed an interest in sending monetary support.  The school fund listed below will go directly to an account dedicated to rebuilding our Chapman schools; your donations will aid in building new facilities, and purchasing new equipment and supplies.

If you have other means of support or if you have companies who would like to provide resources, please contact me directly.  There are many items needed that we have yet to consider.
