Tenacre, Chestnut Hill School students gather for day of community-building

Yesterday, third- and fourth-grade students from Tenacre and The Chestnut Hill School gathered at The Chestnut Hill for a day of community-building. Partnering with the organization Letters of Love, students created cards for children hospitalized with chronic illnesses. Students worked in small, mixed-school groups, each led by Tenacre and Chestnut Hill teachers. They wrote messages, in English and Spanish, of hope, empathy, and kindness for patients at nearly 60 children’s hospitals. In addition, the fourth graders decorated bags for the Newton Food Pantry.
