Waving you a little "hello" from the school to the pool! We might be two weeks deep in summer, but the energy from the last day still has us floating. Hope you've traded grades for shades, homework for hangouts, and algebra for adventure! 🛟 #onechatham


It's Throwback Thursday so we are taking it back to the Fifth Grade Moving-Up Ceremony! With a luau spirit, we honored an amazing group of students who are now sailing towards the next exciting island on their educational journey: middle school. Like expert voyagers, they spent the past years gathering knowledge, building friendships, and learning how to navigate through challenges. Just like the waves that shape the shoreline, each one of them made a mark on our school that will never be washed away. Go make some waves, fifth graders! 🌊 #onechatham




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. Remember to submit your pre-registration information on the CCS website over the summer so you are ready for kindergarten! 🍎 #onechatham


We are looking for new jaguars to join our jungle! Send your resume to Mallory Heffelfinger, Interim Principal (mheffelfinger@chatham.k12.nc.us). 🐆 #onechatham


Our jaguars are saying goodbye school, hello pool as we celebrate our last day of learning for the 2025-2026 school year! As we head into summer, we hope your days are filled with sunshine, laughter, and quality time together. Whether you're hitting the beach, diving into books, or just enjoying some well-deserved rest, we wish you a summer that recharges and inspires. We’ll be cheering for our Jaguars all summer long and look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall for another year of growth, learning, and connection. 🤿 #onechatham

Honk, honk! We are excited to share NCE's Bus Driver of the Year -- Mr. Robert Bland. With a heart of gold and hands always on the wheel, Mr. Bland goes the extra mile every single day — keeping our kids safe, smiling, and on time. 🛑 #onechatham
