Chatham High School students are inspiring the next generation of problem-solvers through the “Coding with Girls” initiative! 💻✨
While AI tools can generate code, the human thinking behind it has never been more important. This winter, a dedicated group of CHS students showed that computer science is about much more than typing—it’s about logic, creativity, and problem-solving.
Throughout January and February, the five-week after-school program introduced 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students to the fundamentals of digital design and algorithmic thinking. Participants explored how to plan solutions, troubleshoot challenges, and think like programmers.
Programs like Coding with Girls highlight that computer science builds critical thinking skills that extend far beyond the screen—empowering students with tools they can use across all STEM fields. 👩💻🚀

This morning, Chatham Middle School hosted the 7th Grade Honors ELA Narrative Symposium!
Led by Mr. Ianuzzi and Mrs. Pasternak-McGinn, students drew inspiration from poet and writer Aimee Nezhukumatathil (Bite by Bite; World of Wonders) as they planned, wrote, and revised personal narratives about a food or element of nature that holds special meaning in their lives.
Students blended storytelling with research, creating thoughtful and engaging pieces. In true academic fashion, the symposium gave students the opportunity to present their work through posters, conversations, and readings. Guests were invited to explore the displays and speak with students about their narratives and sources of inspiration.

Students at SBS recently took part in a variety of Social and Emotional Learning activities centered around the theme of Growth Mindset, with a special focus on inventions. Students had the opportunity to interact with new peers, explore the stories behind famous inventions, and put their creativity to work by designing inventions of their own using materials like paper plates, pipe cleaners, and paper towel rolls.
This year marks the 5th annual District Choral Festival, bringing together nearly 600 students in grades 4–12 from across the district for a day of singing, learning, and collaboration. The festival gives students the opportunity to work with professional artists in the field of singing and music-making and experience what it’s like to learn from people actively working in the industry. Just as importantly, it’s a chance for students from all of our schools to come together, connect with one another, and make music as one community. It’s always a great day that reminds our students how powerful and fun singing together can be. This year was the best yet!
