Book Fair, Thanksgiving Lunch


Thanksgiving Lunch The CES' Thanksgiving Lunch is Wednesday Nov 11th. This is a great tradition where family and friends join their child for a traditional turkey lunch at school. It is a fun way to connect with old friends and make some new ones! Lunch is $3.90 per person (non Chesterbrook students). Checks should be made out to Chesterbrook Food Services and returned to school by Nov 9th. The cafeteria staff make all the food, but need help serving.
