For part of our Lycée Day, the entire CHS community had a group Q&A session to discuss issues concerning the homeless population in our area. We’d like to extend a huge thank you to Malora Horne from Roanoke City Public Schools, Lee Cook from the Rescue Mission, and Matt Crookshanks from the Roanoke Homeless Assistance Team for providing us with this opportunity.
