Chandler Promotes Wellness Each year Chandler’s administration and faculty work together to promote wellness on campus, with the aim of enjoying a happy, healthy school community. Chandler promotes wellness through physical activity every day during P.E. Students also receive fresh produce snacks twice a week and several fresh fruit and vegetable choices daily through the lunch program. The Afterschool Program gets kids moving through daily sports activities, active games, the Spirit Club cheer squad, a new tennis program and the Girls On The Run program. “While the girls spend time running during each practice, they also participate in activities that educate them about how to make good decisions when it comes to health, academics and relationships. The program culminates with a 5K run that demonstrates to the girls that they are capable young women who can achieve their goals through practice and perseverance,” said GOTR Coach and Middle School Teacher Jill Bergeron. “My life wouldn’t be the same without GOTR,” says student Kaley Penichet-Khaw. “I’ve learned how to make sure my body stays healthy… and how to keep myself emotionally healthy. GOTR has helped me to be fearless… it has taught me to be proud of who I am because I am unique.” Kaley Penichet-Khaw

Scouting
In January, Chandler Scouts celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, founded in 1910. Eagle Scouts and Chandler alumni encouraged attendees to continue their scouting experience after their days at Chandler. They spoke about the trips and activities they participate in as Eagle Scouts. The meeting ended with a “100 Years of Scouting” movie and, of course, cake!

Variety of Afterschool Programs Help Develop Well-Rounded Students The Afterschool Instrumental music concluded its seventh year at Chandler with 37 students participating in the end of the year concert. Chandler offers instruction in strings, guitar and flute. Music teachers Cary Belling, Jamie Pedrini, and Kevin Holmes do an amazing job of passing on the gift of music to their students. The chess team’s 36 participants met weekly with coach Sara Liu throughout the year. These strategy lessons culminated with a competitive chess tournament in May.
