From Chapman School preschoolers noted for behaving responsibly and kindergarteners recognized for being caring to the school’s basketball team and straight-A students, Chapman’s K-8 student body received certificates and loud applause Tuesday. 

Undaunted when the lights temporarily went out, teacher Jon Crocker kept the program going as student after student stepped down from the bleachers to be honored by classmates, faculty and visiting family members.
