What's New!
Wow! You did it again! This community sure knows how to come together.

You blew the 300 donor challenge out of the water - now what? As you know, the 1794 Challenge: Cheshire Gives event is all about participation - but, it's all for our students.

We have 375 students at Cheshire Academy. Let's see how far we can go - one donor for every student! Let's go!
