Giving back
Every year the students and staff of CRHS take part in various fundraiser for Charities.
One annual project is Adopt A Family. This project takes place in December, homeroom classes are assigned a family, and given a list of what each member wants for Christmas. The students donate their own money and/or set up activities to raise money, then purchase the items that are on the lists. Each year dozens of families in PEI are able to have Christmas presents, and dinner because of this.
Charities sponsored by the student council include:
