From the Principal’s Office
Dear Parents,
It is beginning to get cooler outside and actually feel like fall! Please make sure that your little one has a jacket because we will continue to go outside in the morning! As the holidays approach, we know everyone is busy with the hustle and bustle…. We have a lot of things planned at Chesterbrook too! We would like to thank all the families that joined us at Chick-fil-a for school spirit night! The children have so much fun seeing the other children from school and we have fun mingling with everyone as well! Sonic Car Hop for cash school spirit night is on the schedule for this month and we also have our first ever Family Literacy Night coming up as well!
We will be collecting food for Harvest Hope food bank for our community project for the month. There will be collection boxes outside each classroom. If you bring in non-perishable food items, please include your children in this process. Whether you have your child help shop for the items, or have them place the goods in the classroom box. We will be speaking with the children in class and circle time about helping others throughout the holiday season.
Our teachers are finishing up with the children’s assessments and you will be receiving them soon. Please remember, the parent reports are the links that the children will be learning throughout the school year, but if you have any questions or concerns please schedule a time to speak with your child’s teacher! We are here to help- working together is the only way to accomplish giving the children the roots they need to grow and the wings they need to fly.

Sweet Potato Pie Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 can (29 oz) cut sweet potatoes in light syrup, drained
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup marshmallow creme
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Generously spray 24 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
2. In large bowl, mix cookie dough, flour and 1/2 teaspoon of the pumpkin pie spice. Firmly press 1 tablespoon cookie dough evenly in bottom of each muffin cup. Bake 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mash drained sweet potatoes, and measure 1 1/2 cups, reserving remaining for another use. Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of the pumpkin pie spice and 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar to the 1 1/2 cups mashed sweet potatoes; mix well. Place about 2 teaspoons sweet potato filling on center of each cookie, and spread in each cup to within 1/4 inch of edge.
4. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 10 minutes in pan; run metal spatula or sharp knife around edge of each cookie cup to loosen. Cool completely in pan, about 20 minutes.
5. In medium bowl, beat marshmallow creme, softened butter, remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar and the vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed, or stir until smooth. Transfer to resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut off one bottom corner; squeeze small dollop of frosting on top of each cookie cup.
