A Note from Our Principal
We hope that you all had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving, even though this year was so different than holidays past! As the winter holidays continue, we have many special activities planned for our students and look forward to spending the season with them. We’ve also enclosed several important winter and holiday reminders in this newsletter. Please read through it carefully and reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
Lisa Delaney
Holiday Card Day, December 8th
Through the month of December, our classes will be learning about different winter holidays and customs.
On Tuesday, December 8th, we invite our families to share your special holiday traditions with us by sending in a Holiday card from your family to our Chesterbrook Academy family! We will showcase all the cards on our classroom doors and share with you through Links 2 Home!
We miss having our families in our school and want to make sure that your traditions and special holidays are a strong part of our school community!
