WE DID IT! Congratulations to everyone who helped with getting the school bonds passed. Special thank yous to Jan Davis, Marie Smith and the PTA Board, Alta Collins, Jill Courtright, Anja Lambert, Bob Winn, and Bennetta Orchitt, just to name a few, for all their hard work. We are grateful to the community for recognizing the needs of our students and school. The Renovation Celebration Night was also a big success. Everyone seemed to be having a great time enjoying the children and parents dancing, singing, eating and learning more about our school. Now the fun really begins! For the next three Tuesdays, the Chester Valley Building Design Committee will meet in the library from 3:45-5:15 pm. If you want to participate in the renovation process, please plan to attend on these dates: 4/15, 4/22 and 4/29. Hope to see some of you there!
