Chamberlain Street School Newsletter (11-20-16)

Dear Parents and Guardians, Veteran’s Day Celebration at Chamberlain Street School Veterans from every branch of service joined our staff and students for a special breakfast and ceremony honoring their service to our country and for the freedom each and every one of us has. During breakfast they had the opportunity to visit with each other, and some of the students to share thoughts and experiences. After breakfast they joined all students and staff outside for the Pledge of Allegiance and rising of the flag. Principal Campbell reflected on the meaning of Veteran’s Day and thanked all Vets for their service. The ceremony concluded with staff and students shaking hands and thanking our Veterans for their service. While today was a special Veteran’s Day celebration, it is important to remember those who have served in the past and who are currently serving in our Armed Forces every day. Without their dedication and courage the United States wouldn’t be the great country it is today. To All Vets – We are Chamberlain and We Honor and Respect You! Mark Campbell – Principal

Here is an update of a couple of things the kids have done on Flexible Friday:

This is a picture of students practicing on presenting their cereal box book reports in our small group, before presenting to the general classroom. They worked very hard on both their projects and their presentation skills! I'm very proud of them. Ms. Pauliukonis

In Mrs. Diamond’s 4th grade class, the students challenge was to make a tower that would hold a mini pumpkin 6 to 12 inches off the ground using only 50 straws, a paper plate, and a yard of masking tape.

Universal team T-shirt update! We would like to announce that our sale of pumpkin-grams was a HUGE success. We raised $747.00! This was pure profit because the staff donated 100% of the candy and materials needed to make the treats. We had staff members that spent hours creating, filling out and organizing these candy grams. Many staff members purchased them for their "family" members. It was a great way to celebrate our theme of friendship in the month of October. So if we add that to the $603.00 we had in pure family donations it brings us to $1350.00. That is so close to our goal of $1600 needed for the shirts. I am pleased to announce that the ladies of SCHOOL STORE have offered to cover the rest of the cost needed for the shirts. THANK YOU!!!! They are so awesome and work so hard at the school store. They were very happy to give us the money because the money they raise always goes directly back to our students! So in the very near future your child will be coming home with a new chamberlain t-shirt. What a great way to show our pride. And of course this all comes down to the fact that we are a family here at Chamberlain. We are proud to be chargers and live by the motto "we work together". Clubs and Days       
