This means that students of CHS will have to prepare for a harsh winter. Some tips on preparing your car for winter are: Making sure you have tires that will provide traction, bring extra layers and blankets in your car in case your car gets stuck, bring something like bags of sand or salt that can help give you traction if you get stuck and detour if necessary, but make sure to avoid back roads that are not plowed well. As for preparing yourself, here are some tips: Don’t spend a lot of time outside, walk carefully because sidewalks are icy and wear lots of layers, to prevent frostbite and hypothermia. Students will be excited for the possibility of having multiple snow days this year. However, we still need to prepare to go to school every morning.
