New Year News

Chestnut has been bustling with activities since the Healthy Lifestyles Program.

The Original Works fundraiser wrapped up successfully. I hope everyone who participated is as happy as I am with the items they ordered.

The Holiday Family night was awesome. Lots of activities and crafts. Miss Beth (from the cafeteria) did a fabulous job painting some large photo boards for us with cut outs for faces. The kids pictures (and some parents) came out great! Thank you to everyone who helped and participated to make the night a great event.

Mrs. Riley was busy have students design possible covers for the 2010-2011 yearbook. We will have a selection available at the February PTA meeting for attendees to vote on and choose this years cover.

We kicked off a fundraiser last week and the kids are excited to earn an opportunity to cover the male teachers with silly string (10 items sold) or a limo ride (20 items sold). All orders and money is due to Chestnut PTA before January 19.

Math Fair is coming! It will be a daytime event again on Wednesday, January 26. K-2 will participate in the morning with 3-5 participating in the afternoon. Planning is being finalized so watch for more info to come. Parent attendance to participate with your child is encouraged.

Box Tops Pod Race 2 is underway and will end February 11. Last year the Blue Pod dominated. The Green Pod won this past fall. Who will be next? The entire school is a winner with this project as we earn 10 cents for every Box Top to support school and family activities.

Thank you for all your involvement and continued support of our students and school. Don't hesitate to contact PTA for more information. ~Amy
