Chattahoochee Elementary School

Back to where it all began. 🥹❤️
Our seniors returned to Chattahoochee today for one final walk through the hallways.
Same smiles, just a little taller. We are so proud of you, Class of 2026! 🎓

The year is winding down but we still have big plans for our 5th graders before their final walk on the last day of school! Please consider helping these special kids have an absolutely amazing last day of elementary school! Our PTA needs your help!

Chattahoochee Elementary School invites parents and community members to volunteer for our 5th Grade Carnival — a fun-filled celebration honoring our amazing Wildcats as they complete their elementary school journey!

We have a variety of volunteer opportunities available, including snack distribution, bounce house supervision, game stations, setup assistance, face painting, and cleanup.

Your time and support will help make this event extra special for our 5th graders and create lasting memories as they celebrate this important milestone.

Calling all Wildcat families! We have two exciting ways to give back and have some fun over the next two weeks. Check out how you can get involved:

Help us keep our community warm! We are collecting new and gently used winter coats and accessories (hats, gloves, scarves).

Deadline: Friday, February 27
Drop-off: Look for the box in the atrium.
