The group of CCHS students going to Germany in June have put together a website to keep in touch with their families and friends and let them know what is happening in Germany. If you would like to see what they are doing or leave messages for these students, you can go to the website at http://cchs.blogspot.com. This site has no affiliation with the Charles City Community School District and the school district has no control over the material posted on this site.
