Congratulations to Mr. Pruitt!!! He is the winner of the 4th annual CGMS Chili Cook Off!

Big congratulations to our September Trojans of the Month! 👏 This month’s character trait is respect—showing politeness, kindness, and positive consideration for those around us. Outstanding job, Trojans! Keep leading by example! ⭐

Start With Hello Week is off to an inspiring start! Our students shared thoughtful, meaningful responses on our interactive poster reflecting on how they make others feel welcome. It is wonderful to see our school community come together to foster connection and belonging!

🛑 STOP Means STOP 🛑
Keeping our students safe is everyone’s responsibility. When a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, drivers must STOP and stay stopped.
Passing a stopped school bus isn’t just dangerous—it’s against the law and can have life-changing consequences. A few extra seconds of patience can protect a child’s life.
🚌 See the lights. See the stop arm. STOP.
❤️ Kids ride. Communities thrive.
Please help us spread the word by sharing this important reminder with friends, family, and fellow drivers.

Mr. Dillingham’s 6th Grade Science classes have been testing a hypothesis about the effects of studying on test grades!
Chestnut Grove Middle School achieved historic growth for the 25/26 school year! These amazing achievements would not be possible without the hard work of our students, teachers, and staff. Good work, Trojans!

Mrs. Norfolk's Life Skills classes have been perfecting their understanding of recipes and instructions, measuring, and working as a team with her Playdough Lab!



At Chestnut Grove we celebrate a core character trait each month, and for August the highlighted trait is Personal Respect & Emotional Intelligence. Our nominees are able to honor their feelings and emotions, which creates a foundation to treat others with kindness, respect, and empathy. Congratulations to our August Trojans of the Month!

Happy National Trail Mix Day! Thank you to our amazing PTO for treating us with a build-your-own trail mix bar!
