We Are #uKnighted!
The annual Knights Family Weekend is set for October 4, 2024. Join us for a weekend of Knights family fun with Friday dances for grades 3-5 and 6-8, DECA's 3rd annual Haunted (and not-so-haunted) Trail; a cookout with our Athletic Boosters; the limited-time return of Castle Café; a band performance; a dunking booth, cake walk, colorful hairstyles and games by the PTSA and of course -- fireworks!
This weekend is being planned by the students and families, for the students and families, so come out and support DECA, the Athletic Boosters, Senior Beta Club, PTSA and the Chatham Charter Knights Band. The annual event aims to do the majority of fundraising for school organizations during this weekend. This year's Knights Family Weekend t-shirt is designed by senior Austin Hill and created and fulfilled by Castle Creations and Marketing students. All shirts ordered by 9/27 will be delivered to students' homerooms by Friday, October 4.
