As you are aware, there has been a terrible fire on Woodfield and Eagle. Everyone is safe. Some of our students have been affected. We are starting a collection of gift cards and cash. All cash will be converted to gift cards. Students have relocated to various homes and its best if we support them in this fashion. If you want to donate, you can see any building principal or district office administrator. Thank you.

We hope to see you this Friday, September 24th at 2:00 for our first Parent & Family Engagement meeting. We will discuss ways that you can be involved in your child's Chestnut Street experience & go over how we use Title 1 funds to support students' growth! #RamPride @whufsdrams
