CONGRATULATIONS CHS STUDENT COUNCIL -- Please join us in celebrating the Chaffee Chamber of Commerce's latest spotlight -- Chaffee High School Student Council! Chaffee StuCo is a school organization whose purpose is to provide students the opportunity to participate in the leadership and aid in the development of their school, community, and region, in conjunction with our Southeast District and our State Association MASC. Student Council has been around a long time, and the current advisors are Mrs. Morgan Swinford (4 years) and Mrs. Anna Knutson (1 year). Current Officers are President Larissa Hanback, Vice-President Brooklyn Reischman, Secretary Carson Spies, Treasurer Zoe Bentley, and Historian Reese VanPelt. StuCo is composed of 5 officers and 5 class representatives from each grade 9-12. CHS StuCo strives to be student leaders and positive role models within their school and community. Their main goal is to be a student led organization that makes a difference in Chaffee School District, as well as the community of Chaffee. They do numerous community service projects and participate in local events. They love helping out in any way that they can, working together to get things done and make things happen all while making a positive impact on others. Over the course of the last two years, they have been recognized in many ways for their hard work in the community. Last year they helped our local VFW, raising $3000 by fundraising. They support Special Olympics, raising over $15,000 the last two years and being awarded the Golden Plunger award both years and recognized as being a Champion of SOMO (Special Olympics Missouri). They have also helped out the Chaffee Community Care Portal. The CHS StuCo is always looking for ways to help out in our community so please reach out to Mrs. Swinford or Mrs. Knutson. They appreciate the support they get from the school and community. The Chaffee Chamber of Commerce appreciates the CHS StuCo and their wonderful advisors. These kids are the next generation of leaders!
