We would like to wish you a merry Christmas and happy Holidays, from our CGMS Trojan family to yours!

Mrs. Dudley's and Mrs. Joyce's classes had some winter fun making 3-D snowflakes! Students also got creative decorating doors for our competition judged by the PTO!

Pictures from our Winter band concert!

Mrs. Hall's classes also made gingerbread houses!

More holiday fun is happening here at Chestnut Grove! Ms. Selbach's classes took time to read Christmas stories to elementary students.

Ms. Selbach's 6th and 7th graders built gingerbread houses! They had to design them and "budget" for their dream house to practice adding and subtracting with decimals.

Congratulations to our Spelling Bee winner and runner up! Vincent Jurkiewicz is our winner and Kabrey Edwards is our runner up and alternate!

Don't forget that you can go ahead and purchase your yearbook for $45 until 1/23/26. After that, the price will increase.

8th grade ads are also available to design and purchase through 1/23/26. Don't miss this chance to celebrate your student!

Yesterday, Chestnut Grove Middle School was recognized as Stokes County Schools 2025 PTEC Signature School with a reception at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. This honor recognizes our commitment to excellence in teaching and learning, innovative practices and a strong culture of collaboration that helps every student thrive. It's a great day to be a Trojan!

We are excited for some holiday fun next week with Spirit Week!

Due to the winter weather advisory and forecast for Monday, Stokes County Schools will operate on a remote learning day on Monday, December 8, 2025.
