CES Weekly Update 3.14.23

Principal's Message

We are enjoying three full weeks before Spring Break and great things are happening. Students have been immersed in many great learning experiences and opportunities to share their thinking with others. So many walls are filled with beautiful work as spring trips and grade level activities are being planned.

Last Thursday evening, I had the opportunity to attend our parent social.  I wanted to extend my gratitude for the support from our PTA board and Parent Social planning committee, sponsors and entertainment. An event like this doesn't just happen. So many hours or preparation and planning went into this evening to support our children who benefit directly from your support. Check out this wonderful video showcasing "Why we Love Chesterbrook." Look at all these smiling faces, it certainly is a great place to be!
