Chatham High School Key Club is making a BIG impact! 💙🥫
This past Saturday, 50 incredible volunteers came together for the 9th Annual Meal Packing Event—packing an amazing 15,200 ready-to-heat meals in just one morning to support community members facing food insecurity.
✨ By the numbers:
🍽️ 15,200 meals packed in a single day
🙌 50 dedicated volunteers
📆 9 years of service
💙 245,547 total meals packed since the program began
These shelf-stable meals will help local families access nutritious, easy-to-prepare food when they need it most.
As Key Club approaches its 10th year of this impactful tradition, they continue to lead with compassion, service, and community spirit. Way to go, CHS! 👏

Starting this week Wednesday, April 16 - Saturday, April 18, 2026, the Chatham High School Theatre Department is presenting their spring production of Chicago: Teen Edition. This youth-adapted version of the classic Broadway musical is specially designed for teenage performers while keeping the show’s iconic jazzy style and satirical storyline. Set in the Roaring Twenties, it follows Roxie Hart, a young woman who dreams of fame as a vaudeville star but ends up in jail after murdering her lover. There, she meets Velma Kelly, another performer and fellow inmate, who becomes both her rival and inspiration. With the help of slick lawyer Billy Flynn, both women manipulate the press and the public to gain celebrity status.
Performances will be held Thursday, April 16, Friday, April 17th, and Saturday, April 18th at 7:00 PM.
Tickets for the performances must be purchased in advance online at chathamsd.booktix.com. Ticket prices: $12.00 for students, and $15.00 for adults.
