January Newsletter: Winterfest, Fun Fair planning, and more

Council funds supported field trip buses, classroom tech, and student recorders. Plus Winterfest is coming January 29th, and we need volunteers.


Welcome to the new year! As we settle back into routines, there are so many fun and exciting moments to look forward to for the remainder of the school year.

Chester School Council Highlights:

  • Funding in Action: Council funds supported field trip buses, classroom technology, and student recorders! An option to donate toward future field trips is also being explored, along with a second Movie Night.
  • School Merch Idea: We’re looking into a school merchandise initiative to build spirit and support school programs.
  • Light Up the Holidays Success: A BIG thank you to our community. Over $1,600 was raised to support local families and community initiatives.

Upcoming Events:

Winterfest: Thursday, January 29th

Mark your calendars to join the Chester Winterfest fun from 6:00–7:30pm in the Chester School Gym! Decorate yummy cookies, get your face painted, munch on pizza and popcorn, explore the bake sale, win cool raffle prizes, and let your creativity shine at our colouring and craft stations. Let the frosty fun begin!

We really need your help. If we do not have enough volunteers, we may need to cancel or reschedule the event. Please consider volunteering.

Fun Fair: Saturday, June 13th

We’re busy working behind the scenes to ensure the 2026 Chester Fun Fair is just as big and fun as last year! We’d love for the community to help make this happen, so please consider volunteering for a lead position so we can start planning. Get involved.
