Chatterton Welcomes Students Back with Fun-Filled Picnic

The excitement of a new school year was in full swing as Chatterton welcomed students and their families back to school with an afternoon celebration filled with music, laughter, and school community spirit. 

Hosted jointly by the school and the PTA on Sept. 5 in the school yard, the event brought together families, students, teachers, and staff for a lively back-to-school bash that turned the campus into a hub of activity and joy.  

A professional DJ kept the energy high with upbeat tunes, while students danced, played sports, and enjoyed free time on the playground with their classmates. 

The event also featured food and a bake sale hosted by the sixth grade graduating class.
