Chilton Core Values
Chilton's January Core Value is KINDNESS.
At Chilton:
We believe that demonstrating generosity and friendliness is not merely a state of mind or an attitude; it is an intentional activity that requires directed effort and is a learned skill.
Talk with your child about what KINDNESS means to your family!

Student IDs
Every Chilton student was given an ID card when they had their school pictures taken. This ID card is used to check-out library books, scan for school lunch, and other school functions. All students should bring their ID with them to school everyday. If a student lost their ID, they can purchase a replacement ID for a discounted price of $1 in the office by speaking with Mrs. McCall.
If a student forgets their ID, they CAN still get lunch. However, they will be sent to the back of the line. This is because they can no longer type in their number and our lunch ladies have to type it in for them. As a result, it takes longer. But not to worry! There is still PLENTY of food left for them and multiple options, and our line finishes within the first 10 minutes of lunch.

Cultural Fun Fact
Monday, January 15th is dedicated to celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for his work during the Civil Rights Movement.
For a list of surprising facts about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, see this Times article.
The first fact on the list is that "He was the first Black person to be named TIME Man of the Year" when "TIME named King as the 1963 “Man of the Year," making the civil rights leader the first Black person to receive the honor. “Few can explain the extraordinary King mystique,” TIME wrote in the story. “Yet he has an indescribable capacity for empathy that is the touchstone of leadership. By deed and by preachment, he has stirred in his people a Christian forbearance that nourishes hope and smothers injustice.”'
