We spotted lots of school spirit today! Even K-9 L.E.O. posed for a paw-fact first day photo, dressed to impress with his brand new Jaguar print bandana for days when he is serving North Chatham alongside SRO Abbott. Now we want to see your first day photos -- share them in the comments! 🐾 #onechatham

Our hallways were once again roaring with the sound of students at our Open House last night! Students and their families had an opportunity to meet their teachers for this year, sign up for bus transportation or car rider tags, purchase spirit wear from our PTA, pick up backpacks filled with school supplies from our Student Services Team, finish Infinite Campus enrollment on school computers, and roam the hallways to find some familiar faces. We will see you again next week, Jaguars! 🐆 #onechatham
