Chester Elementary School

Three things for you in this edition of the CES Newsletter:

1. One of the things that makes CES great is our community! This past week our fifth-grade students had the good fortune of receiving a visit from the Chester Elk's Club, an excellent and longstanding Chester community service organization. They delivered a "Quarter Book" to each student as a link to their social studies curriculum, which studies American history. Click here or on the pictures below for a link to the Plumas News article. Thank you, Chester Elk's for investing in our students!
2. Speaking of community: have you ever attended on of the Lake Almanor Community Supper events? Hosted at the Chester Memorial Hall, each one is sponsored by a different community organization. The next one is scheduled for Thursday, February 23rd and is sponsored by the Friends of the Library. Dinner is served from 5:00 - 6:00 and you can sit down with friends old and new or take a meal to go. It's a really great time to connect our community. I hope that you'll join me there.
3. An update on our safety processes for you: you may hear that one of our students found a spent bullet on our playground over by the garden area in the receding snow. Commensurate with a hunting round, it appears to have been there for quite some time. There is no need for concern and the student did the right thing and notified a teacher during recess. The Sheriff's Department was contacted. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions.

A great weekend to all of you.

Sincerely,

Scott Cory
