Churchill Chatter - Issue 16, March 31, 2023


Dear Churchill Road Families,  

It has been a busy month. We had our 6th grade Philadelphia field trip this week! Many thanks to the staff and families for the organization and support.

We also enjoyed our Principals for a Day - Andrew, Olivia and Reilly - who used their administrative skills to help with arrival and dismissal, lunch supervision, and helping make some important decisions. Below you will find some pictures from their experience!

Our upcoming Kindergarten Orientation is on April 13, from 2-3 p.m.  Please share this information with your friends and neighbors, so we have a better understanding of numbers for our in-coming Kindergarten program!

Have a wonderful Spring break!

Sincerely,

Ms. Jen Niccolls and Mrs. Cherith Pierson-Barr

Spring Break Reminder

Principals for a Day 2023

fegler

We so enjoyed working with our Principals for a Day, Olivia, Andrew and Reilly. Each of our principals had many opportunities to assist with administrative duties.  The principals assisted with arrival and dismissal at Kiss and Ride, buses, and helped with morning announcements. Among their many duties were helping with school tours, assisting in PE, helping students with projects, reading to students and providing constructive feedback to Mrs. Pierson-Barr. They even got to host a business lunch with peers in the principal's office!

We cannot thank them and their families enough for their willingness and enthusiasm in supporting Churchill Road.
