Principal's Message
It was wonderful to see so many families at our PTA sponsored International Night this week. Thank you to Leticia Phillips for organizing the event and to all our incredible families that sponsored a table. It was a fabulous evening to connect and share in our rich cultural diversity.
As we prepare to head into spring break, we have continued to work hard in classrooms and also have a lot of fun while doing so. Our second grade students celebrated Native American day last week, we had our first Chesterbrook Chip Store, and our upper grade students are putting the final touches on their spring music concerts which will take place the end of April. This week we have enjoyed celebrating our military kids spirit week and look forward to having our military families in for another breakfast meet up later this month.
Today is the LAST day for yearbook sales, so if you want to secure a book, make sure you have ordered. I've had a sneak peak and it is beautiful!
We wish everyone a wonderful spring break. Our building will be closed next week. Our custodial team will be here working hard to get our building ready for the year end. If you need something, please reach out to me and I'll do my best to get back to you in a timely manner.
Sincerely,
Stacy Kirkpatrick
