Hello CHB and May the 4th be with you! As we know, May is a busy month and we have a lot of things to share below. Please read through for all of the information.
Walk-a-Thon
Our 2nd annual Eco Action Walk-a-Thon is here! We need your support. May 4th–8th, our students will be walking to raise funds for our school garden. We are very proud of how far our garden has come, but we need to raise funds to help keep it going strong.
Please be sure to look in your child’s backpack for the form, or use the linked form, to donate. Thank you for your support and we can’t wait to get planting!
Teacher Appreciation Week is Here! May 4th–May 8th
There are still available volunteer slots! Please find the SignUpGenius below:

Don’t let your kids miss out on celebrating their teachers and staff! Reminders for how we are getting the kids involved to celebrate our wonderful staff are below:
- Monday: “Take NOTE, we think you’re awesome!” Write a special note of appreciation for teachers and staff.
- Tuesday: “Lucky to be STUCK with you!” Wear your I <3 CHB sticker with pride. Stickers will be handed out at drop-off and before care.
- Wednesday: “You’re truly the SWEETEST!” Bring your teacher a sweet treat.
- Thursday: “It’s no JOKE, you’re the best!” Make your teacher laugh. Tell your teacher your favorite joke or riddle.
- Friday: “You are so GROOVY!” Wear your CHB tie-dye shirt and show your love for our amazing CHB staff.

You may self-nominate or nominate others by filling out the form by May 5, 2026.
PTAC plays a key role within our Montclair schools community in advocacy, communication, and supporting our school PTA communities.

Montclair Athletics Blue and White Club
As you may know, due to the budget cuts, freshman sports at MHS have been cut for next year. This is what is exactly at stake: 500+ kids. 13 coaches. An entire freshman program. Away games. Home games.
The Blue & White Club is rallying to raise $176,000, and they can’t do it without you. Whether it’s $10 or $1,000, every contribution protects the programs that shape our student-athletes.
