This Week...
The International Day of Peace

Celebrate with Charter Oak -
When: Wednesday, September 20 at 8:30am. We are celebrating one day early due to a school holiday on Thursday, Rosh Hashanah.

Families are welcome to gather at the flagpole as students share what Peace means to them through thoughtfully decorated pinwheels. Have you ever seen 500 pinwheels spinning in the breeze?

Finally...
Thank you parents, families, faculty and everyone who played a role in Curriculum Nights for the lower and upper grades at Charter Oak. The atmosphere was alive with all the possibilities!

What's more, two Charter Oak students organized a fundraiser for Hurricane Harvey and Irma victims and raised over $300! Principal Melian additionally pledged $50 from the school. Another example of CARING Charter Oak students taking ACTION.
