This week, our third grade students presented a wonderful Patriotic Music Program. Their songs gave us an opportunity to reflect on our country and recognize the service and sacrifice of the members of our armed forces.

As Veterans Day approaches, we extend our sincere gratitude to all veterans in our Chambers community. We also thank the families who have supported their loved ones through military service and the sacrifices that service often requires. Your courage, commitment, and service are deeply appreciated.

A special thank you to our third grade students and Mrs. Van Soest for sharing such a meaningful performance with our school community.

Throughout November, we are sharing simple prompts to help children recognize the people, experiences, and small moments they appreciate.

“What is one small thing that made you happy today?”

You might also follow up with: “Why was that moment special to you?”

Gratefully serving Chambers students, staff and community,

Mrs. Gann

Dear Chambers Primary Families,

What a joyful week at Chambers Primary! A major highlight was our 3rd grade music program. 3rd graders worked so hard preparing, and seeing their confidence, creativity, and talent shine on stage was an absolute highlight for our entire school community. What an awesome way to honor the service of the members of our armed force. Thank you to all of our families who came out to support our talented performers!

As we acknowledge these exciting moments, we also want to emphasize how vital daily attendance is for your child's academic and social growth. Being present every day ensures students stay connected to their peers and do not miss out on foundational instruction, hands on learning, and memorable school events.

Our November CHAMPS trait of the month is: Honest: being truthful (factual) in what you say and do.

In our SEL lessons this week, students will begin learning from Second Step, a research based social-emotional learning curriculum. See below for each grade level's focus:

As the holiday season approaches, we understand this time of year can bring added challenges for some families. Our school is once again partnering with the Families Unlimited Network to provide holiday support for those in need. If your family could benefit from assistance this season, please reach out to Ms. Quay for more information.

Hello, Chambers families! 

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who supported our Read-A-Thon last week! Whether your student logged hours of reading, you shared donation links with relatives, or you contributed yourself, you made a huge difference.

Because we focus on reading rather than selling traditional products, our school keeps the vast majority of what we raise. Your direct support goes straight toward funding the extra-special moments that make school memorable, including:

Thank you for investing in our kids’ literacy and making our school such a vibrant, fun place to learn and grow. We couldn't do it without our incredible PTA families!
