Principal's Message
We are excited to wrap up a solid week of instruction this week before welcoming Spring Break and the month of April. I am looking forward to putting winter in the rear view mirror and looking at sunshine, outdoor play and our spring events around the corner.
We had so many wonderful yearbook cover submissions this year and are excited to announce our winner on our morning news tomorrow morning. We will have our winning submission on the cover with four runners up on the back cover. Congratulations to all of our talented students who showcased their artistic skill.
We are looking for volunteers to support our Fun Fair event and need you to make this happen! The Fun Fair raffle baskets are being put together today with your thoughtful donations. Thank you for your support. We are ready for this to be a success but cannot run this event without you! Please consider volunteering for a shift. This event is being held on Friday, April 10th, which is a teacher workday.
Please sign up for shifts here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0B45AFAC2EAB9-62675245-funfair#/ Questions? Please email funfair@chesterbrookpta.org
Wishing everyone a wonderful week and lovely Spring Break!
Sincerely,
Stacy Kirkpatrick, Principal
Lara Macdonald, Assistant Principal
