Principal's Message

I am so impressed by our hard working students. Each year there are a variety of opportunities our students can take part in and we had some new opportunities where our Chesterbrook students made their mark showcasing their knowledge and trying something new. 

Congratulations to Allyson S. who competed in the TJ Invitational Science Fair. As a former science teacher, I was impressed with her thorough work through each step of the scientific method as she researched "The Secret Sauce: The Effect of Liquid Detergent on Removing Tomato Sauce Stains from White Cloth." Allyson even makes me want to try a new laundry detergent with her research.

This past weekend four of our Quiz Bowl students represented Chesterbrook in the Maryland History Bowl and Maryland Academic Bowl Regional Tournament. Juliet C, Peter L, Elsa I and Avery C  showed incredible teamwork and persevered through 10 rounds of competition.

I am incredibly proud of our students in their first year of competition. They have worked diligently to dive into their learning and challenge themselves. Go Chipmunks! 

Have a wonderful week!

Stacy Kirkpatrick

Principal's Message

This week is Teacher and Staff Appreciation week.  The Starbucks this morning was a welcome treat to get us boosted up and ready for the week! Tomorrow staff will enjoy a Hot Dog cookout by Lara and I to thank them for all they do. Additionally, our PTA Hospitality Committee has planned a staff luncheon for Friday and organizing the snacks shared today for our staff this week.  Thank you for partnering with our PTA to help celebrate our staff.

Our Chesterbrook staff is a unique group of dedicated staff willing to go over and beyond for our students each and every day. Our teachers and staff are what makes our school a very special place to be.  I hope you will take some time out of your week to ensure your teachers and the staff that work with your children know how much they are appreciated. A simple card or email go such a long way, especially those written from our students.

Our Fun Fair this past Friday was a huge success. Thank you for our PTA Chairs that planned a spectacular day for our community and to our parent and student volunteers that made the day possible. We truly could not do this event without the support of many, from basket donations, time and participation. Below students will find the staff raffle winners. We will also post them in the lobby for our students to see.  Staff will begin scheduling the special time to celebrate our winners. Congratulations!

This week our Chesterbrook Theatre, directed by Ms. Cody Boehm, takes the stage in Shrek Jr., The Musical.  I am looking forward to seeing our students shine. The hard work and dedication of our staff, students and parent supports go so far to support this program in our second year. 

Have a wonderful week!

Sincerely,

Stacy Kirkpatrick, Principal
