Welcome to the Monthly Newsletter for June at Chesterbrook Academy, Palm Beach Gardens.
This month ends the school year. On June 4th, we will end the year in celebration. It has been a great year. We have made new friends, kept in touch with the old ones and said good-bye to those leaving for foreign lands.
It has been a great year of achievement, experiences and growth. We look forward to next school year.
School will be closed for Teacher Work Day on June 5th. We will see you on Monday, June 8th as we open our doors to the summer program.
What is happening…..Passport to Adventure for our preschoolers and Camp 15 for elementary students. It truly will be a great mixture of learning and play.
Thank you for your support and see you this summer…..Chesterbrook Academy is the place to be this summer!
Sincerely,
Ms. Jen, Principal
