The Chatterton School community showed off their support for pediatric cancer awareness on Sept. 15, as September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The community has been involved in the Be a Good Cookie Merrick campaign to honor the memory of Richard Capizzi, father of students at Merrick Avenue and Calhoun High School.

The organization offers local communities grass roots campaign options to raise money and awareness for pediatric cancer. Volunteers from all over Merrick have been raising funds through donations and cookie sales.

The Chatterton School PTA, faculty and staff welcomed families back for the new school year with a picnic on Sept. 8.

Popcorn and cotton candy, carnival and giant lawn games, a DJ and dancing were all part of the afternoon's festivities. Local Merrick artist, Balloons by Brittany was also on hands for some twisty fun.

Celebrating the school’s 100th birthday, students wore special t-shirts gifted by the PTA, sang happy birthday and even had a special cake.

“It was so heartwarming to see the Chatterton Community together enjoying good food, music and many laughs together,” said Principal Dana Bermas. “This was a wonderful kick-off to our 100thbirthday celebration.”
