Spring Picture Make-Up: Good Afternoon, spring pictures will be made up Wednesday, April 19th.
After an amazing show of support, I have an update for you on our Caps for Kobee campaign. Students in Centerville donated money to wear hats this week in support of our rival and neighbor, Kobee Sherman. Students, staff, and community members raised $3857 this week. Please continue to keep Kobee and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
Our mission is/was to show support for Kobee and his family. As his fight continues, you can donate here:
GoFundMe - https://gofundme.com/f/no-or-family-fights-alone

Attached is a picture of the students and staff here in Centerville forming the letter K to show Kobee we are here with him.

Caps for Kobee
The Centerville BBB Team would like your help as we reach out to the Viborg-Hurley school and community with our “Caps for Kobee” drive.
Kobee Sherman, a 16 year old Viborg-Hurley student-athlete, was recently diagnosed with osteosarcoma. As you can imagine this was a shock to his school, his community, and especially his family. We are asking that you please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as he will begin treatment immediately.
The Centerville Tornadoes boys basketball team would like to help Kobee and his family through our Caps for a Cause Campaign. If you are a K-12 Centerville Student who would like to help we are giving you the opportunity to do just that!
All of next week we will be “Wearing caps for Kobee” with either a daily or a weekly donation!
Our goal is $5.00 per day or $20.00 for the week!! But of course, any and all donations will be appreciated!!
Please contact a member of the CHS boys basketball team, stop by the school, or reach out to Coach Muller @ kory.muller@k12.sd.us if you would like to make a donation!
Sincerely,
The CHS BBB Team!
