From the Desk of the Principal: 

Dear Parents:

Happy New Year  2020!!!!  I hope everyone had a great holiday season!

Chesterbrook Academy was a very busy place during the month of December:

•  Our holiday show  Pre K I and II were out of this world! Big thanks to the teachers and children for all of their hard work!!!
•  The Gingerbread-Man and Cookie decorating  events in Intermediates and Beginners was lots of Fun!
•  Thank you  all  for contributing to support our community for the “Holiday Food Drive” for Philabundance and collecting  Jackets, Hats and Gloves and Mittens for the children of Laurel-House.

Now for January News:

•  In January we have a lot of winter activities planned. We are planning to have an Art-Show to support our local SPCA, Pajama Day, celebrate 100th Day of School, and be silly on Backwards Day.
•  Inclement weather policy- Please be sure that on the days it snows, please visit channel  6-ABC to find out if we are closed or opening late. You will also get an email from me or you can call the school to hear the voice mail.
• When it snows, some days our Intermediate and Pre-K class will request  you to bring in snow attire for your children. Occasionally,  teachers do take them out in the snow.
•  Please have weather appropriate clothes for your child in his or her extra clothes box in their cubbies.

I hope this New Year brings peace, good health, and prosperity to you and your family!!!

As always, we are truly honored that you have chosen our school to take care of your child!

Thank you,

Rukina Contractor
