Kids' Corner: Meet CHSter

The SFCH campus has a colorful new addition outside Loving School. It’s been about a month since CHSter—pronounced Chester—joined the SFCH campus and he already has grown to 68 rocks!

Loving School Teacher Abbi Zuehlke came up with the idea as she was walking around her neighborhood and saw a family do something similar in their yard. She thought it would be a fun project to bring to campus as a way to unite staff, classrooms, families and volunteer groups.

“Seeing CHSter grow so quickly has been really heartwarming,” said Abbi. “I have spent time with my class where we admire the creative rocks out there.”

Each rock is uniquely painted and showcases the talent we have on campus. Abbi said she has heard from a few students about how they have come to love CHSter.

“The kids have enjoyed participating in the rock painting and many have been able to connect content they've learned in art class and apply it to their rock creations,” said Abbi. “They love being able to look at and discuss the rocks that others have painted.”

Next time you’re on the SFCH campus, bring a painted rock to add to CHSter’s body. We are excited to see how long we can extend him!
