Welcome
The students and staff at Cherry Hill Nursery School, located on Cherry Hill Road in Princeton, welcomed Sgt. Peter Novobilsky back from Afghanistan last month.
Sgt. Novobilsky is a Hopewell resident and the son of CHNS teacher Alison Novobilsky. He was the recipient of care packages and cards from CHNS during his time in Afghanistan. The children finally got to meet him in person when he came for a visit.
