Dear Chesterbrook Families,

We love summer!!  The weather is warm, the days are longer and we all want to be outside!!   The month of June is filled with wonderful end of the year activities as well as the beginning of an exciting summer camp program.  We want to congratulate all our pre-k and kindergarten students and their families.  We are so happy we got to know you all this year!

will stay in our
hearts a long, long while.
