June News

From the Principal’s Office

Summer is finally here, well minus the weather.  I hope you are all as excited as we are.  We have a fun summer planned.  As a reminder, if you would like to join us on any field trip please let us know! Watch for weekly reminders with important information regarding our field trips.

If you have not reserved your spot for the 2015/2016 school year, please do that now.  We wouldn’t want you or your child(ren) to miss out.

Thank you for being part of the Chesterbrook Family!

Warm Regards,

Jen Elliott, Principal
