Principal's Pen
Greetings Chaffee Families,
Tomorrow we Think Pink! We encourage everyone to wear pink to school.
Tuesday is Book Character Day! Students may dress as a book character who makes good choices (please remember that anything symbolizing/resembling a weapon should not be brought to school).
This Friday is our Fall Festival, and we hope to see you there! This is a free event for our families.
Please remember that students need tennis shoes/sneakers for PE daily. Wearing proper shoes prevents injuries.
Our 1st graders are currently in the lead for our October Attendance Challenge—only two more school days in October for another grade level to pull ahead.
Congratulations to the five Chaffee students selected for the first 2024 Elementary All-State Choir: Evelyn Lee, Scarlett Lund, Nova Miller, Mei-Yon Rose, and Elizabeth Waller! We are so proud of you!!
Soar Eagles,
April Clark
Principal

North Pole Musical
All Chaffee 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students are invited to perform in the North Pole Musical on November 28. 2023, at 6:00pm at Trinity UMC on Airport Road. Students should be in the sanctuary ready to perform at 5:45pm. This will be a special evening for the students. Everyone is invited to come see what the kids have been busy preparing!
Students may wear their best winter colors or dress as elves, snowmen, reindeer, or toys. Students who have special speaking/acting parts have their own instructions regarding arrival time and what to wear.
"Everyone is in a panic getting ready for the 400th Anniversary of the North Pole Musical! The dancing reindeer are "hoofin" it but don't know what to do with Rudolph and his four left hooves. The elves are tired of always getting the short end of the stick, and are singin' the blues. The snowmen are "chillin", but worried about the funky hot lights, and the the toys are falling over themselves to get it right. The annual Christmas show keeps getting bigger and bigger, but wait a minute! Is the bigger really better? See how Santa finds a way to remind everyone of the true meaning of the season."
We hope to see you there!
What's Up in P.E?
Hello Golden Eagles! It's Coach B. Last month we had lots of fun working on movement concepts with games like capture the flag and tag. This month, we will be completing the Alabama Physical Fitness Assessment. The Fitness Assessment involves running a mile, push-ups, sit-ups, and the sit-and-reach. Make sure students come to school prepared to do their best !
