A Message from the Principal
Chapman families,
Thank you to our PTA! Both the Book Fair and BINGO Nights were big hits with our students and families!

Mark your calendars for Spring Pictures and Science Night, which both take place later this month! There are also a ton of fun, community events shared in this newsletter - be sure to check out the fliers!
Wishing you a wonderful week!
