A Note from the Principal

Hello Chestnut Hill families!

Our students have done a tremendous job adjusting to the back-to-school routine. I can say we are in full swing!

We are very excited for the Homecoming Parade next Friday, Oct. 9 This year’s homecoming theme is, “Once Upon a Homecoming“. Chestnut Hill will be celebrating “Chestnut Hill’s Next Chapter”. We encourage you to come walk with Mrs. Nageli and me. Please wear your CH spirit wear or dress as a butterfly, mushroom, or fairy. We are asking families for candy donations to be distributed by our students at the parade. If you would like to donate, please have your child drop your donation off in the office any day this week! We look forward to seeing as many of you there as we can. We may be the smallest elementary school, but we have the biggest heart. Let's show off our Chestnut Hill Pride! I thank you in advance for your support! Let’s have some fun!

This week our 5th grade students participated in a field trip to Asbury Woods. Students experienced watershed, erosion, and many more hands on activities.

Moving into October, we’d like you to save the following dates:

Picture Day: Oct. 5
Homecoming: Oct. 9 (line up begins at 4:15 at McDowell North
Trunk or Treat: Oct. 15
Book Fair: Oct. 13, 14, 15

We would be remiss if we didn’t extend a very big thank you to our parents for their ongoing support as we continue to venture into this school year. Your efforts to motivate and support your child’s education do not go unnoticed. A special thank you to our PTA board and volunteers to make our school, Grrrrrrrr…eat!

Take time to embrace the new adventures your child participates in these next few weeks. We are looking forward to seeing them grow and meeting all of you at parent conferences in November.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Mrs. Pulice
