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.

3rd, 4th, and 5th graders visited the fiction cafe during reading today where they explored a menu containing the many types of fiction. Students had three courses where they could order a different type of fiction to “taste” during each course! It's a great day to be a Yellowjacket!

Last week our 6th and 8th grade science classes were calculating speed with their own hot wheel races. Using the 5 different tracks Mrs. Powell laid out, each group had to measure the distance, use a stopwatch to time the car, and then use their speed equations to figure out who had the fastest car. Speed = distance/time. Way to go junior high science!
