Our Chapman Elementary fourth graders had an amazing time celebrating the end of a fantastic school year at United Skates in Lincoln Park! Students enjoyed skating, music, games, laughter, and making special memories with their classmates and teachers.
It was a wonderful way to recognize all of their hard work, growth, and accomplishments throughout the year. We are so proud of our fourth graders and all they have achieved!
A big thank you to our staff, families, and United Skates for helping make this celebration a success. We hope everyone had a rolling good time! 😊
