With parents and grandparents looking on, Early Childhood students followed the Olympic torch into the CHS gymnasium on Wednesday.  National Honor Society club members assisted with equipment and cheered the participants as they walked the balance beam, pedaled  tricycles,  rode stick horses, and performed other feats, making their way through the obstacle course.   Medals were awarded and Olympians received a “high five” for their efforts!  See more photos at http://replayit.com
