Meet the Artist (Mural Project)
Bragg School hosted a whole-school assembly on 10/15/26. All students attended. The purpose was to launch our school-wide mural project. Here is a copy of some of the information that was shared. Presentation Link
Students have been asked within their classrooms to share information related to our Mission statement that will lead into the development of our mural. If you would like to share your input, please do so here. Thank you! Parent Input

Read-a-Thon
Calling All Readers!
The annual Read-a-Thon is back! Get ready to turn the page, rack up those reading minutes, and win some great prizes!
Reading kicks off November 10th, and every student who participates and submits a Reading Log will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win fantastic prizes, including an iPad, Liberty Science Center passes, and much more!
Best of all, every dollar raised goes directly toward supporting teacher-sponsored initiatives that enrich learning and create new opportunities for students throughout our Chester schools.
Read-a-Thon packets are going home this week, so be sure to check your student's backpack! You can also download the packet on our website at www.chesteredf.org.
Let's get reading, Chesters!
