Yesterday Mrs. Hicks class read “The Curious Garden” by Peter Brown. It’s a story of a boy who turns into a gardener and transforms a struggling garden in his city. After we read it, the kids were able to turn into gardeners themselves and make dirt! I took some pictures. 😊







Join us this November in celebrating Native American Heritage Month, or as it is also referred to, American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month.
This month is a time to celebrate the diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native people. It is also an opportunity to learn about tribes and their cultures, and to raise awareness about the unique challenges Native people have faced and how they have worked to conquer these challenges. #CPSCelebrates
