Greetings Chesterbrook Academy Families,
Happy spring! We have a fun and busy month planned for our students. In each classroom we are focusing on art and science activities that celebrate spring and our students are looking forward to the “EGG”stravaganza later this month. Our students always love our annual Earth Day celebration and this year we are releasing 1,5000 ladybugs!
As we look forward to the next school year, please remember to let us know that your family intends to return.
Summer Camp
We are gearing up for another summer of fun and learning. For our preschool students the summer camp curriculum is an extension of Links to Learning. We bring in special visitors and add special enhancements and activities to each classroom. Look for more details to follow!
School-wide Egg Hunt & Spring Classroom Parties
Our students are spending the month of April learning about spring by creating spring themed art, learning about plants in science lessons, and spending lots of time outside. To celebrate the season the Hunterville Police Academy is hosting our “EGG”stravaganza on April 18th at 3:15 p.m. The egg hunt will conclude with a spring celebration in each classroom. Parents are welcome to attend, but photos will be sent through Links 2 Home for those who cannot.
Earth Day Celebration
We are so excited for our annual ladybug release to commemorate Earth Day! On Monday, April 22nd, each classroom will be releasing ladybugs onto the playgrounds and grassy areas around our school. Our students are also having a ladybug parade complete with festive spring hats that are made from recyclables. The ladybug release is at 10:00 a.m. directly followed by the parade. Parents are welcome to attend, but we will take lots of photos!
As a reminder:
* We are a peanut free school.
* If your child is sick, we will adhere to our sick policy.
* Please make sure to check your child’s cubby and/or mailbox for important information.
Our school does not follow the local elementary school schedule as we are open more days each year. For the 2018-2019 school year the days we are closed are:
- Labor Day
- Veteran’s Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Black Friday
