NHS recently hosted a Coin War that many went ALL OUT FOR! There was one major reward added at the end... watching Mrs. Dinger be pied in the face. This was based only on COIN weight. Not on the dollars donated which took away from each bucket. These dollars were ignored when it came to finding the total weight each class donated in coins. The class with the most weight in coins for the WHOLE school was...... 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade! Therefore, they got a little treat yesterday! Watching Mrs. Dinger take a pie to the face! Thank you to our AP Mrs. Dinger for being an AMAZING sport!

Fourth grade visited the Tyler County Courthouse yesterday! They decorated an ornament for the county tree, toured the courtrooms, and heard some history. Then, they ate at Elijah’s cafe where they ordered and paid for their own meal! It was a great day to be a Yellowjacket!
Last night Chester National Honor Society inducted a group of young men and women into the new local chapter. Here is a message from NHS Advisor, Mrs. Handley:
"Thank you to everyone who came and made our induction night so memorable for our students.
Students, you made induction night run so smoothly and ran the ceremony beautifully! I am so proud of you and look forward to getting to know each of you better in the coming months. Your hard work and dedication to education is unmatched and does not go unnoticed!
Congratulations to the newly inducted National Honor Society students of Chester High School!"
National Honor Society inductions are tonight at 6 p.m. in the Chester Cafeteria! Students must be here by 5:30 p.m. We look forward to seeing you there to help us recognize these students for their hard work and dedication to their education.
