KATU: CHS Wins Channel 2's $ for Schools Contest

KATU Channel 2 announced Thursday that Camas High School (CHS) is the winner of this year’s KATU News Cash for Schools contest.

“We want to send out a BIG thank you for everyone’s votes,” said Michelle Allen, of CHS. ” We ended up with 996 votes and we would not have achieved such an impressive total if it wasn’t for all of you.”

Live KATU Broadcast

Beginning at 5:30 am tomorrow, KATU News will be broadcasting from the high school live through 7 am. Following that, there will be an 8 am assembly in the gym at which time representatives from the McLoughlin Auto Mall will be presenting the Papermakers with a $10,000 check.

The check presentation will be broadcast live, so please tune in to view it. And as a heads up, said Allen, the Channel 2 News helicopter will be following the car with the check to the high school.

“This is a big win for Camas High School, and the community at large,” said CHS Principal, Steve Marshall. “We’re very grateful to Channel 2 for their generosity.”

The school hasn’t yet decided on to use the extra funds, said Marshall.
