The Chelmsford Middle School PTOs are offering families a FREE evening of entertainment on Monday, Sept. 9, at 6 p.m. in the CHS Performing Arts Center (PAC).
We will be screening the Broadway musical Come From Away and will welcome, Connor Farry, as a special guest speaker after the film.
This award-winning musical is based on actual events that took place on Sept. 11, 2001, when the FAA shut down airspace following the terrorist attacks and diverted 38 planes to Gander, Newfoundland stranding 7,000 passengers and crew. This show focuses on the experiences of both the passengers and the people of Gander, who welcomed them into their town in the spirit of collaboration and kindness.
Following the film, we will hear from one of the passengers stranded in Gander as a child. He will explain how we can all Pay It Forward with kindness.
Join us for this amazing feel-good time and reserve your seat(s) with this link: https://signup.com/go/SGDpOpO.
NOTE: Concessions will NOT be sold at this event.

Lunch/Cafeteria Reminder:
Lunch/Cafeteria Reminder:
Our school is considered to be "nut aware" and not nut free. Although nuts are allowed, no students are permitted to share food in the building. It is also considered best practice not to have students bring in shelled peanuts for the safety of others. It is important for students to understand that if they are bringing in nut products, they cannot share them regardless of whether the other student is allergic or not. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that no student experiences an anaphylactic response and we can help prevent those events together.
While we have these discussions with students throughout the day, it would be helpful and appreciated if you would address this at home as well.
