Good afternoon, Chapelfield families.


Today, we ended our week with our April PAWS breakfast for Acting Responsibly. It was nice to see our students receive that reward and have families join us to celebrate. In addition, the staff recognized Mrs. Pritt, Miss Weimer, and Mrs. Sheraw for Adopting a Growth Mindset. We are incredibly proud of our students and staff.


In addition, we had our second tornado drill. This practice is important especially given the unpredictable weather in Ohio. Students were able to shelter in place in under 5 minutes.


This week was special because we had OSU and Capital students work with a few grade levels to educate students about career options in nursing and aerospace engineering. It was certainly a busy week at Chapelfield!


We hope you enjoy your Spring Break with your children. They have been working hard! They need a chance to rest and relax.


See you on Monday, April 15.


Sincerely,

Nikki Miller

CES Cultural & Community Night CES Cultural & Community Night

Culture and Community Night Video

Mark your calendars for an evening of celebration of the many cultures represented at Chapelfield Elementary along with third grade “Town” and our student art show.


We will share cultural dishes provided by our own families, music, and cultural craft stations.


“Town” is set up and run by third graders to demonstrate their knowledge of business entrepreneurship. It will be held in the third grade hallway.


Also be sure to enjoy student artwork displayed around the school.


Students must be accompanied by an adult. Please look for a sign up sheet about contributing food for this event. We can’t wait to see you there.
