On Friday, LAF students and faculty celebrated Mrs. Kraemer's 57 years of teaching! Teachers, many who were Mrs. Kraemer's former students produced a head show in her honor. Mrs. Kraemer is famous for her signature paper mache head show that combined the fine and performing arts skills of students. The cast of the Little Mermaid performed a rendition of "Under the Brush" to honor her contributions to the musical. Students also presented her with a trophy and a Kraemer Jersey. Local and national government officials paid tribute to her with proclamations and awards while the flag club presented her with a ceremonial flag. The PTO closed out the ceremony announcing the creation of a scholarship in her name. Three generations of students have benefited from Mrs. Kramer's talent and dedication to teaching. Her students are proof that everyone is an artist!




Yesterday students and staff members joined together with law enforcement to support Special Olympics in the annual Torch Run. Starting at Southern Boulevard School, runners followed a route that passed all Chatham schools. We were excited to welcome students back to the sidelines this year to cheer the runners on as they passed each school.
