The CKH word of the month for November is Teamwork.

Prior to the Thanksgiving Break, students at East End Intermediate had some excitement watching the Arkansas State Police helicopter land and take off from our playground area! Thank you to the pilots Matt Richie and Gabe Monroe who spoke with our 3rd grade students about what they do as pilots for the Arkansas State Police and letting our students look into the helicopter as they answered their many questions. We look forward to repeating this experience for our 4th and 5th graders at a later date.
