Chesterbrook Honors Veteran's Day

This year we look forward to bringing back some traditions of honoring current and veteran military personnel. Men and Women that have served our country are invited to share their experiences with our students. On November 10th, we will invite military personnel into Chesterbrook classrooms to speak. Please consider joining us in a day of sharing with our students  so they can learn more about the important services provided by our military men and women. 
Please sign up here if you would like to participate as a classroom speaker. If you would like to speak, but cannot join us on 11/10, please complete the form and provide availability.

If you would like to volunteer to speak, please complete this form to share your information and availability.
