Hello, CHE Dragons! With only a couple weeks until school starts, I hope you and your family were able to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. My name is Nina Samuel, and I am the CHE PTA President. My family and I are starting our 6th year here at the Castle. To our new Dragon families, you have joined an amazing school filled with the finest principals and teachers. We are looking forward to another successful year.

Our children’s success depends on the continued partnership among our school, our community, our parents and our students. I invite each of you to join me and become a member of our PTA. By becoming a member, you are committing to ensure all our students have an opportunity to take part in the many PTA led programs such as Kingdom Tales, Science night, After School Enrichment classes, Fall Carnival, and Family Game night to name a few. Please visit our website – CHEPTA.net - to learn how to become a member as well as discover all the great programs we have planned for the 2018-19 school year.

I look forward to getting to know your family. Please be sure to attend the grade level orientations the week before school starts. The dates and times can be found on our PTA website. In addition, our PTA Board would like to invite you to our Yahoo! Boohoo! Reception on the first day of school, August 15th at 7:45 am in the CHE library. Members of the PTA Board will be there to answer any questions or discuss any of our upcoming activities.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions. I am open to all feedback and ideas. Enjoy these last couple weeks of summer break. See you at the Castle!

Truly,

Nina Samuel
CHE PTA President 2017-2019

Kingdom Tales registration is now OPEN! We have modernized the process to make it easier for kids to submit their story and offer professionally bound books! More information at http://chepta.net/Kingdom_Tales

All students are invited to write a Student Spotlight article about a specific program, event, or club to be included in the bi-weekly Castle Courier newsletter. We will provide the topic, questions, and format for you; all you need to do is encourage your child to participate! There is no particular skill required -- we are encouraging students Kinder through 5th to share why they love the programs, clubs, and events here at the Castle!

Please mark which parent we should contact to remind them of their child's newsletter submission deadline (only one parent needs to be marked). To give more children an opportunity to participate, please only select a max of one (1) article for each child in your family.
