Chesterbrook Academy

Students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool (cbabethlehemeaston.com) on Emrick Boulevard in Bethlehem recently donated dozens of nonperishable items to The Neighborhood Center (theneighborhoodcenterallentown.com), a local organization that provides youth education, caring leadership and community involvement and that aims to provide a safe haven, promote positive life choices and promote and strengthen community relationships. For two weeks, students held a food drive and collected various food items for children in need supported by the organization. Through these initiatives, students learned the importance of helping others, especially during the holiday season.
