Happy Thanksgiving from Chimes! Over the past few weeks, students and staff at The Chimes School have been working to carry on our fine holiday tradition of assembling and distributing Thanksgiving Boxes for the families of students and past graduates of the school. Food drives and donations were collected at various Chimes facilities to provide all the necessary supplies for a full Thanksgiving meal. The Maryland Food Bank provided many key items as well! Our students helped pack the boxes and distribute them to families!

What an amazing #purplerising win by the Baltimore Ravens last night. Some of our Baltimore area Chimes team members got in the 'Purple Thursday' spirit with an afternoon tailgate before the big game. What a FUN way to spend your lunch break on a mild fall day!
