It's a warm Wednesday outside, and we have something that will warm your heart! A group of fifth graders asked Dr. Heffelfinger to help them provide a token of appreciation to the NCE staff before they left for middle school. The students worked together to hand deliver a sunflower stem and a poem to each staff member -- including custodians, office staff, instructional assistants, nutrition staff, bus drivers, and teachers. There were lots of hugs, and a few tearful eyes, as the fifth graders said thank you for cultivating, helping them grow, and teaching them more than they could know. 🌻 #onechatham
It's Trivia Tuesday! Did you know that we had a Student Advisory Group this past year? This group of fifth graders met with the administration team quarterly to discuss areas of excellence and opportunities for growth at North Chatham. The students had the opportunity to leave behind a legacy before heading off to middle school, including the introduction of the Family Lunch Days. Wishing them well as they go on to be MBP Mustangs! 🐎 #onechatham
It's Memory Monday, and we are reminiscing our PreK Moving-Up Ceremony. We are so proud of our youngest learners for all they learned with letters, numbers, and friendships during this school year.
