A Note From Our Principal
Thank you all for helping our school celebrate Earth Day last month. Together student at Chesterbrook Academy planted wild flowers in our bins out front. They also made bird feeders with gelatin and birdseed and planted cucumbers, peppers, onions and tomatoes in our school garden! We cannot wait to sample the delicious vegetables. Please check the wooden bins out front as the flowers are growing. Celebrating Earth Day as a community provides our teachers with many opportunities to relate science, math and literacy concepts to everyday life.
As we move into May, we are getting our classrooms ready for a summer of additional enrichment for our preschool students and summer camp for our school-age students. We can’t wait to spend summer with you and your children and hope you’ll join us at the family activities that we have planned in the next several months.
Sincerely,
Carol
