We will have a very small number of extra books available, so be sure to order the yearbook now so that your student is not left out. To order, go to www.jostensyearbooks.com. Then select the white “Shop Yearbooks” button in the center of the page. You will be prompted to search for our school. Enter “CHCA”—you’ll see the 7th and 8th grade yearbook option pop up. Follow directions once you’ve selected our school. Please contact Mimi Ehlen if you have any questions. Get your 2018 yearbook today!
