From the Office of the Principal
We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with loved ones. December is always such a fun month here at
Chesterbrook Academy! The children are always so happy and full of life around the holidays. During the holiday season we choose an organization to give back to those families in the area who are not as fortunate. We are excited to be partnering with the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina to conduct a food drive during the month of December. The mission of Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina is to feed hungry people by soliciting and distributing food and other grocery products through partner agencies, as well as to educate people in the community about the nature of and solutions to the problems of hunger. We will have bins available this week for your donations, and we will be accepting food donations all December long! If you would like to make a financial donation, checks can be made payable to Second Harvest Food Bank or SHFBM. A receipt will be automatically sent to any individual or family that writes a check or makes a cash donation.
Towards the end of the month, Chesterbrook Academy will enjoy our Holiday Break on Friday, December 25, and we plan to close early on Christmas Eve at noon. Finally, Links to Learning folders will be going out on Thursday, December 31.
As always, we will always be here to help you in any way possible if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you!
William Gordon, Principal

Chesterbrook Academy Parent Referral Program
If there’s one thing parents love to do, it’s talk about their children’s successes. When friends ask you about your child’s experiences at Chesterbrook Academy, what type of success stories do you share? Do you mention the personal and educational discoveries your child is making thanks to our advanced curriculum? Do you talk about the new levels of self and social confidence your child has gained thanks to our encouraging atmosphere? Whatever glowing reports you deliver about how your child is growing with his or her education, we couldn’t be more appreciative. In fact, we’d like to show you just how thankful we are for your endorsements. Now when you tell other parents about our school, you can become a Chesterbrook Academy Ambassador.
For every new child you refer who enrolls at our school for three months, you’ll receive one FREE week of tuition for your child.
It’s our way of saying thanks for doing what comes naturally – singing the praises of your child and sharing your experiences with the Chesterbrook Academy difference. If you have any questions about how you can become a Chesterbrook Academy Ambassador, please contact an administrator.
