Reading instructors Mr. Calvin and Miss Jessica presented special awards to the children who demonstrated the greatest growth, cooperation/perseverance and participation/attendance. Good going! #Reading #growth #cooperation #perseverance #participation #goodjob #chestereastside

Each child who participated in Virtual Out of School Time received a certificate for successfully completing the program “in the year of great upheaval and uncertainly.” Kudos to the kids and our wonderful coaches and staff! #kudos #endofyear #welldone #chestereastside

What a wonderful way to celebrate the end of the school year and our virtual Out of School Time program. Zoom is great, but spending time together (and enjoying hamburgers and hot dogs off the grill) is so much better! #endoftheyear #schoolyear #zoom #hamburgers #hotdogs #Congrats #chestereastside

Chester Eastside and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church served as Saturday’s pop-up site offering free COVID-19 vaccines for adults and children. Glad to see so many people took advantage of the opportunity. Thanks to Woodlyn Good Neighbor Pharmacy, Widener University School of Nursing, the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania and the City of Chester News and Information for partnering in the effort.
Check the chart for additional dates through the month and into July.

The Out of School Time garden clubbers are keeping track of this year’s progress. In addition to the early veggies, they have now planted potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, squash, cucumbers and flowers for summer. #communitygarden #summerveggies #journals #stpaulschesterpa #chestereastside

The Chester Eastside – St. Paul’s Community Garden is very productive – to date, we have harvested 54.6 pounds of lettuce, broccoli, kale, spinach, Swiss chard, cabbages, beets, onions and herbs. What didn’t go home with the children in our Out of School Time garden club was given to the Chester Eastside food pantry. #communitygarden #veggies #foodpantry #yummy #stpaulschesterpa #chestereastside
