CRCT WEEK
COMPLETED!
CRCT week is OVER! Congratulations to all 3rd, 4th & 5th grade students for the record-breaking attendance this week. As a reward, Chesney Administration will participate in a "water balloon toss" with classroom attendance winners on the last day of school. Parents - thank you for making sure that your students rested well, ate a fantastic breakfast, and most important of all - got here on time and was in class EVERY DAY! Let's see if we can do this again next year! |
