Kafka Farms Visit Brings Sheep, Goats, and an Alpaca to P.G. Chambers School
P.G. Chambers School kicked off our Fall fun with a special visit from Kafka Farms! The children had opportunities to interact with sheep, goats, and an alpaca. The smiles and laughter showed just how much our students enjoyed this hands-on experience with the animals!
Circus Yoga Residency with Morris Arts
The Circus Yoga Residency at P.G. Chambers School gave our students opportunities to combine movement and play through daily sessions led by teaching artist Erin Maile O’Keefe. A heartfelt thank you to Erin and Morris Arts for helping our children discover limitless possibilities!
Listening, Learning, and Loving Music Performed by the New Jersey Symphony
P.G. Chambers School welcomed musicians Greg LaRosa (Percussion), Theo Bockhorst (Violin), Mark Timmerman (Bassoon), and Tiago Linck (Trumpet) from the New Jersey Symphony for a music residency!
The children loved exploring rhythms and sounds throughout the residency. For example, Camden used eye-gaze technology to share that he was listening to and enjoying a performance of “If You’re Happy and You Know It!” Click here to watch Camden use this technology in real-time.
Everyone’s an Artist with the Right Tools!

Supporting Families in Need this Holiday Season
As we enter this season of gratitude and giving, our hearts are drawn to the importance of community – of showing up for one another, especially when times are difficult. Many families in our area are feeling the weight of the recent cut to SNAP benefits and financial strain, and the simple act of putting food on the table can be a daily challenge. Together, we can make a difference.
Food Drive at P.G. Chambers School
We invite our School community to come together for a Food Drive to help support families in need. Donations of nonperishable items – such as canned goods, pasta, rice, cereal, and shelf-stable snacks – can be dropped off at School between Tuesday, 11/11 and Monday, 11/24. Food from this drive will be available for pick-up (or discreet delivery, if needed). Click here for more information.
Family Assistance Fund
You can also provide support for our families in need by donating online to our Family Assistance Fund. Please leave a comment when completing the form to let us know the donation is for the Family Assistance Fund. Click here to securely make a donation online.
