We did it! First week in the books!

The week may have started wet and soggy but it's ending on a sunny note. We hope you all had a fantastic first week back and are optimistic that this year will be the best yet. 

Take a look below for some reminders about what's happening at Chatham Park in the coming weeks and months.

HASA's First Monthly Meeting is Wednesday, September 14th at 7pm. All are welcome!

Monthly HASA meetings are usually held on the first Wednesday of each month. September will be an exception to allow everyone time to get acclimated to the new school year. The meetings are open to everyone in the Chatham Park community to attend. 

For the first time since 2020, the meeting will occur in person at the school! There will be an option to attend virtually as well. Further information on how to attend will be distributed before the meeting on Wednesday.
