 ===== OPERATIONS (400) =====
+==== 408 Team and Club Merchandise ====
+The school often strategically produces branded merchandise for athletic teams, clubs, and other co-curricular groups as part of our community identity and school spirit. Parents and students are also welcome to independently create additional merchandise; however, any such items must adhere to the school’s branding and logo guidelines, as they represent the school community and may be worn at school-sponsored events. All design(s) must be approved by the Marketing Department before being produced. All parent- or student-initiated merchandise must be coordinated and paid for independently. The school does not process payments, reimbursements, or tax deductions for these items under its 501(c)(3) status.

+==== 409 Parent- or Student-Initiated Apparel or Events ====
+Christian Heritage Academy encourages a vibrant community life and celebrates when parents and students take initiative to organize apparel or activities that build fellowship among families and students. If the event desires to use CHA’s brand, any use of CHA’s name, logo, or branding must be approved by the school and, if approved, must follow the school’s established branding guidelines and receive prior approval from the Marketing Department.
+While parent- or student-initiated events and apparel contribute to community connection, they are considered independent of the school and are not sponsored, funded, or administered by CHA.
+Any parent- or student-initiated event should clearly identify itself as independent from CHA. All planning, communication, logistics, payments, and liability related to the event must be handled by the organizing parents or students, separate from CHA operations and finances.
+The school does not process payments, manage funds, provide tax-deductible receipts, or assume responsibility for contracts, safety, or supervision related to these independent events or apparel acquisitions. Student behavior at such events must be monitored and consistent with school rules.
+CHA staff and faculty may choose to participate at their personal discretion, but their involvement does not imply school sponsorship or endorsement.
