SPIRIT WEEK

What a fun week to come to school at Chets. We saw many "new" sides to the students and teachers in 4 Corners as we varied our ususal looks and adorned farmer attire, mismatched clothing, silly socks and crazy hair. Many of us also transformed into awesome pop or rock stars on Friday! Enjoy the slideshow of pictures which highlight many of these fun new looks!

FCAT will be "NO SWEAT" next week!!!! Bring it on!
Be sure to leave a comment telling how you KNOW you are ready for next week's FCAT! Also, take our blog "poll" and vote for your favorite Spirit Day from this past week!
