Clip Those Box Tops for Education  Thanks to our Chesterbrook ES community we earned nearly $650.00 for our school in this fall's Box Tops for Education submission! We really appreciate all of your work in making this bi-annual fundraiser a success! The spring submission deadline will be Friday, February 20, 2015. Ask your neighbors and friends if they can collect the coupons for us. Any little bit helps as each coupon is worth 10 cents to Chesterbrook. The upcoming holiday cooking will make collecting Box Tops so easy! All you need to do is cut out the Box Tops coupons found on General Mills products, put them in a baggie, and have your child drop it off in the "Box Tops for Education" container across from the school Media Center. If you have any questions, please contact Susie French at

Become a Chesterbrook Friend
THANK YOU to all the Chesterbrook families that have already donated and become a Family Friend of Chesterbrook in 2014-15. See the list of all our generous donors to date.
We invite all Chesterbrook families to participate in our "Family Friends of Chesterbrook" armchair fundraiser. The Friends program is one of Chesterbrook PTA's primary means to support critical student, school, and enrichment needs. We ask for everyone's support of $100 per family to reach our annual goal of $40,000, but your gift of any size is appreciated. There are two quick and easy ways to give: 1. You can donate online through the PTA website. 2. You can donate by check. Please make checks payable to "Chesterbrook PTA" and forward to school via backpack mail or mail directly to Chesterbrook PTA, 1753 Kirby Road, McLean, VA 22101. We also accept Corporate Matching Gifts if your company has a program (just send us the form from your company and the PTA will fill it out). Additionally, businesses that donate $500 to our "Business Friends of Chesterbrook" program are recognized on our website and in other ways at school. Questions?
