The upcoming holiday season is filled with excitement, but it can also be a time when some of our families need a little extra support. 💛 🎙 In our newest episode of Amplified, we sit down with Lisa Kerry, one of our Family & Community Engagement (FACE) specialists and Nischelle Buffalow from Buffalow Family and Friends to talk about partnership, compassion, and how our community works together to make sure no one feels alone this season. 🎧 Hear the stories, learn how to access support, and discover ways to get involved at cpschools.com/amplified or wherever you get your podcasts. #EmpowerCPS #CPSCelebrates

BRI's 5th graders are exploring force, motion, and energy this week with Lego Spike Robotics kits & coding. They built mini-golf courses and programmed them to achieve a hole-in-one. Finding that "just right" amount of force is more difficult than it looks. Way to SOAR, Hawks!
