Ways to get connected with other Nursery School Families

Chapel on the Hill Parent Group

What is it? Chapel on the Hill has organized events that are separate from the school day. Participation is optional, and all family members are welcome at each event. The events are an opportunity to get to know and play with families outside of the normal school hours. We typically have some sort of monthly activity. We also have a closed Facebook Group to communicate with one another.

Here are some of the events we have done in the past and events to look forward to this year.

Playdates at the park
Spirit night at Zaxby's
Fall pumpkin patch outing
Nursery School Appreciation Sunday
Christmas Family Workshop
Pancake Breakfast
Ice Cream at Razzelberry's

How do I find out about events? Shona usually has the dates of events in the newsletter. Also, the President of the Nursery School Parent Board, or other parents, sends out reminder emails and messages on the closed Facebook page. click the HERE to be added.
