We are so fortunate that spring has come to F.L. Chamberlain School with such an unexpected splendor. After a wet start with torrential downpours and area flooding, we are being visited with such warm weather that most of the flowers have arrived for an early bloom. Such a wonderful “pick me up” after a long New England winter.
This is also a busy time of year on campus, at F.L. Chamberlain School. The warm weather brings new opportunities for students to get outside to explore the rich history and geography of the area. Additionally, preparations are being made for another successful graduation for many of our senior class students. You can feel the excitement building as the preparations near completion.
We look forward to our Spring Parents Weekend. We hope to see many of you there!
