First Branch News!

Hello First Branch,

We want to thank all our faculty, staff, and parent chaperones that made our 5th-8th grade trip possible. Help came in many ways, from being at Hulbert, being at Chelsea, cross-campus flexibility with faculty coverage, and assisting with coordinating details. 

This trip would only have happened with the financial support of the Aloha Foundation. The foundation paid for $155 of the $200 cost per each 5th-8th grade student, and the district contributed the remaining amount. There was no cost for students to attend. In addition, Hulbert outdoor center worked with First Branch to provide experiences for all of our K-8th grade students this spring. Based on feedback from the director, they are looking forward to hosting us in the future. We are very proud of how our First Branch campers did this spring! 

In closing, we want to take a moment to honor the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. At Chelsea Public School, the wall of service has expanded thanks to the work of our custodian team and a few veterans in town. Please contact our main office if you know a local military person who has passed away and would like us to honor them. 

We wish everyone a restful weekend ahead! See you Tuesday!

Janet Cash
