Next week (11/17-11/21) is Month of the Military Family Spirit Week, and we are so excited to honor and celebrate the incredible military families in our [School Name] community! ❤️
Here’s the lineup so you can plan your outfits:
MONDAY 11/17: Wear Yellow 💛 (To support our troops)
TUESDAY 11/18: Service Branch Color Day 🟢🔴🔵 (Wear camo, red, green, or blue!)
WEDNESDAY 11/19: Wear Purple 💜 (To honor all military kids)
THURSDAY 11/20: Wear Red ❤️ (To Remember Everyone Deployed)
FRIDAY 11/21: Proud to be an American! 🇺🇸 (Wear your red, white, & blue!)
We can't wait to see your spirit! ✨

Once a week, we hit pause on our regular bells for something special... we call it Creek Day!
So, what is it? Creek Day is our all-school club period. Most of the student body breaks out to explore their passions, learn new skills, and connect with friends who share their interests. It’s a huge part of how we build community.

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
