Good afternoon, Chapelfield families.

We did it! Here are some pictures from our last week of school! Happy Summer!

Sincerely,

Nikki Miller

Dear Families,

As we wrap up another wonderful school year, here are a few simple tips to help your child have a happy and healthy summer:

• Keep a routine: Try to keep regular bedtimes and mealtimes to give your child structure and stability.
  
  

• Get outside: Parks, Gahanna Splash Pad (free before noon), walks, and free community events are great ways to stay active and spend time together.
  
  

• Encourage reading: Visit your local library for free books, summer reading programs, and fun activities.
  
  

• Limit screen time: Try to balance screen use with creative play, chores, or helping around the house.
  
  

• Make memories: Enjoy time together—cook a meal, share stories, or play a simple game as a family.

Wishing you all a safe and joyful summer!
