Throughout the month of February, our students will learn more about Black History through morning meeting and woven into their curriculum.
Sixth grade equity club students have studied and prepared information to share with all grade levels throughout the month of February. It is wonderful to see our student leaders sharing with our younger students.

February is Kindness Month
While February is kindness month, we are encouraging students to focus on positive actions in being kind to self, family, others and our planet. We also want to recognize that kindness should not just be something to strive for on a day, week or a month. Across the Chesterbrook community, we encourage kind actions and support of others each and everyday. Be Kind Today & Everyday!
