Don't forget! When you register and send 10+ invitations, it helps classroom teachers earn shopping sprees for classroom supplies or books. Thanks for supporting our teachers!
Don't forget, next week we will have our Black History Month Spirit week. We look forward to seeing your ideas. Monday will be Unity Day! Wear something that represents your heritage or wear red, white and blue to show unity.
Thank you to our Black History Month Guest Readers for coming today. Our students enjoyed listening to some wonderful books by African American authors!
🎉 Join us in saluting the service of over 800 school board members in Virginia for School Board Appreciation Month! The 2024 theme — The Heart of Education: Our School Board — acknowledges that the school board is at the heart of the education system, guiding it with kindness and care. The month-long observance is an opportunity to build a stronger understanding of the crucial role school boards assume in a constitutional republic. School boards voluntarily tackle the enormous job of governing public school divisions, while preserving the core of our democratic values. #CPSCelebrates
