Mrs. McManus started a special tradition at Chatfield 15 years ago and it has been featured on Denver Channel 4 News. McManus is a Special Education teacher who has a passion for spreading joy. On Wednesday, December 3rd special needs students will fill 250 stockings with special gifts for our troops at Fort Carson. Chargers were asked to bring in the items below by Tuesday, December 1st to the main entrance of the school. This tradition will carry on no matter what! Thanks to those of you who have already donated and to those of you who will donate by Tuesday, December 1st. We appreciate you! Charger Pride!

“This is the way of showing we want to be thankful for especially having the greatest gift of all time, having freedom.” Jacob Siebert, CSH 2018 graduate
