This year Byam is looking to host our first cultural festival. Our Byam School Council has created a survey to gauge interest in our families' participation. Please take a moment to fill out the brief questionnaire below.

Each year we 4th grade students serve as PRIDE ambassadors. These students serve as role models for our school community and take on special projects. Students are in the process of applying and we look forward to sharing the accomplishments of this group throughout the school year.

Dear Chelmsford Community Members,

We’re excited to announce the Pumpkin Palooza, a fun-filled fall festival replacing the Trick-or-Treat Drive-Thru! Join us on Sunday, November 3rd, from 2 to 4 p.m. on the Chelmsford High School plateau for an afternoon of community involvement and festive activities. This event is free of charge, and we encourage everyone to come in costumes! The Pumpkin Palooza will feature various clubs from the high school, each hosting their own exciting fall-themed activities for all to enjoy. In the spirit of giving back, we’re collecting donations of canned and non-perishable goods to support the Chelmsford Food Pantry, as well as monetary donations to the Paul Center.

Let’s come together as a community to celebrate fall and support our local organizations. We can't wait to see you there!

Regards,

Chelmsford High School LIME
