Principal's Message
We have two wonderful family engagement opportunities for parents to join their students at Chesterbrook during the upcoming weeks. Brighten your child's day and meet up with other parents at these events.
Thursday we will host Thanksgiving lunch. Parents are invited to join their child(ren) during their lunch time. Please note lunch times have been revised to account for the additional people purchasing lunch. Please arrive very close to the start of the lunch time so we can balance spacing for all classes.

Community News
Additional Opportunities for Families
One of Disney’s most well-known movies, which has captivated audiences since 1991, was turned into a staged musical in November 1993. This classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.
