Water Conservation Project

From the Conservation Club:

"Today, our group had a blast! We first leveled out an area. Then we put two platforms on it. After that we put a collection bin on top to collect rain to irrigate the garden. Other groups cleared out the back of the shed. And others put shelves on the back of the shed. All of us loved it!"

~ Gus Anton, Jacob Hyman, Ryan Kitts

A Chilton House Tradition

The Annual Cocoa Party for students in the Early Childhood Division:

“The students come each day, 4 or 5 at a time, and enjoy cocoa, marshmallows, and cookies, while I read a story to them. On Friday, I invite the entire class to the library to see a video of the story and give them a souvenir booklet of the event, complete with their picture in it, along with a poster for the classroom. I'm told this tradition started when EMS was in the original building on Linden St. and the children came in from playing in the snow and the teachers decided to give the children hot chocolate and read to them. All the CH students will be invited to a cocoa party this school year.”

~Ellen Rubin, Chilton House Librarian

Parent/Authors Visit Ms. Aslam's and Ms. Su's PreKindergarten

Our Prekindergarteners were so engaged and excited to meet and share stories with our very own parent author/illustrators Peter Maloney and Felicia Zekausas. The dynamic duo read their beloved book Bronto Eats Meat. Maybe one of the children will be inspired to create the next volume of dinosaur adventures in their own stories! ~Ms. Brennan

Below: a montage of Ms. Zekauskas' @ Mr. Maloney's book covers and illustrations were on display at the Chilton House main entrance.
