FROM THE DIRECTORS
We want to thank everyone who worked together to support each child during our recent two
week closure. While no one ever enjoys closing school, it is wonderful that we have the
resources and the tools necessary for students to continue to grow and learn while at home.
Teacher/Staff Appreciation
Today kicks off teacher/staff appreciation week. Please take a few minutes to send your
child's teachers a special note of appreciation. A simple note or act of appreciation means so
much. We appreciate Chatfield teachers and the wonderful work they do to make learning
meaningful for Chatfield children.
UPCOMING P.I.E. MEETING - PLEASE
COME!
We will have a Partners in Education meeting on Thursday, May
13 at 7pm via Zoom. The Zoom link will be emailed out to
parents prior to the meeting. Please try to attend. We have
many topics to cover including this Fall's Bike Rodeo fundraiser, this summer's Shakespeare in
the Park, and updates on the school and plans for next school year.
MARCH BOOK MADNESS CARRIES INTO MAY!
Chatfield Loves to Read! We are now finishing up the March Book Madness activity where
students vote for their favorite books. This is a great time to donate a book to your child's
homeroom! Here are some of the great books we read for Book Madness:
Outside, Inside by LeVyen Pham
The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander
Prince by Maria Vegara
I am Every Good Thing by Derrick Barnes Ambitious Girl by Meena Harris Stevie Wonder by Maria Vegara Eyes that Kiss in the Corner by Joanna Ho SUMMER SCHOOL - BY INVITATION We are excited about the summer learning program we will be offering our students this summer. The program called Rise Up will have a heavy emphasis on literacy and improving students overall literacy skills. Tenatively the program is scheduled to run 9am to 11am Monday through Thursday starting July 6 through August 5. Enrollment will be via invitation. MEET UP, READ UP, AND EAT UP Meet Up, Read Up and Eat Up will continue this summer on Wednesdays July 7 - August 4 from 11:30-1:30. This will be open to all Chatfield students. Students will be able to pick out a new book, participate in a unique read aloud and activity, and then take a sack lunch home. MALLORY AND FRIENDS MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR PAR As many of you know second grade's service learning project is to support Paradise Animal Rescue (PAR). This year the second grade was unable to take trips to PAR but they did host a collection of supplies for PAR. Second grader Mallory Sells was recently featured in the County Press for taking this a step further. Mallory and friends ran a bottle drive and collected over $900 dollars for PAR. This was hard work for Mallory, but a j t h l dd i !W b t d M ll !A j b!
FINLEY'S ARTWORK WINS PRIZE! Recently Mr. Lange's third grade art students participated in a poster contest with the Lapeer County Road Commission. Finley's artwork was chosen as an award winning poster to celebrate 2021 Work Zone Safety! Congratulations Finley! Quality work pays off! OLIVIA AND KHLOE MAKE AN IMPACT! Fourth graders, Olivia M and Khloe M., in Mr. Brady's homeroom recently worked to raise funds to support American Red Cross. The girls wanted to help families that are impacted by emergencies like fires and the pandemic. The pair raised $40 with the help of school mates to donate to Red Cross! Great job!
CINCO DE MAYO Elementary students and middle school Spanish students will enjoy breaking a pinata this week as part of Cinco de Mayo celebration. While Cinco de Mayo is not a major Mexican holiday, it has become a tradition to celebrate our study of Spanish language at Chatfield. SPRING BOOK FAIR 2021! Reading is important and the Book Fair brings a lot of fun and excitement to many students and families. The Book Fair is truly one of the simple things in life that can bring the joy of reading a new book. Our online book fair will be open for 14 days from May 17 to May 30. All book-only orders over $25 will ship free to your home. Please watch for instructions on how to access the Scholastic Book Fair through the school's Book Fair Homepage starting on May 17. Instructions will be available in the May 17 Newsletter. PARENT - TEACHER CONFERENCES Parent - Teacher conferences were held virtually during the month of April. If you did not have a conference with your child's teacher or if you would like to have a conference with one of your child's teachers, please contact them right away to set it up.

PARKING LOT SAFETY REMINDERS
We just have a couple of parking lot safety procedures that
may help with some of the congestion that occurs.
1. For those that drop off or pick up on the north/east side of
the building, please pull all the way forward to the middle
school door steps when picking up and dropping off. This will
allow more people to pick up and drop off at a time.
2. If you are dropping off your child and you need to get out of
your car to help your child out, please do not stay in the drop
off line, park your car in a spot and help your child out of the
car. This will prevent the drop off line from backing up.
3. As a reminder, if you are walking up to where students or
staff are waiting you MUST WEAR A MASK, even if you are
remaining outside.
4. Please drive slowly and carefully in the parking lots. Safety
must be everyone's first priority.
OLYMPICS IS ON THE SCHEDULE!
Chatfield's 24th Annual Olympic Day is scheduled for Friday,
June 11! Parent/Family volunteers will be invited to spend the
day and help out running Olympic events. Here is what we
know so far:
All participants, volunteers, and guests will be required to wear
masks while on school grounds. We will have a picnic lunch
for all, but not the traditional Olympic buffet. Olympic
events/activities will be adjusted to plan for social distancing
and santizing of equipment.
