CLASS OF 2023 - SENIOR SUNRISE At the beginning of the year, all CHS seniors are invited to wake up extra early and gather to watch the sunrise together. It is a way to symbolize the class of seniors starting their last year together. It is the first of many "last" events they will share this year. On August 18th, while many of us are still in bed, the Class of 2023 will gather at Lantow Field at 6:15AM. Donuts and drinks will be provided. T-shirts are available online: https://chsseniorsunrise2022.itemorder.com/ At the end of the year they will share their final sunset together during their graduation ceremony on Lantow Field. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

CPS teachers took part in the OK Donors Choose Grant process earlier this year. Thirty-four teachers at CPS received funding for their proposals, equaling almost $34K in grants. Reading books and building together will encourage meaningful relationships and engage students in a positive classroom community. Crystal Galvan, a teacher at Catalayah, purchased children's books on working cooperatively, building relationships and overcoming adversities. She also bought STEM building kits with her Donors Choose grant. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

There is a whole lot of #CPSZEBRAPRIDE in this photo! We are passionate about learning. We consistently seek new ways to lead and prepare our students for the future. Summer is full of teachers and administration setting aside time to focus on their personal and professional growth. CPS Administration carved out a little extra time for a local "retreat" to nurture their growth mindset, to evaluate and set goals, and to focus on the mission, vision, and values of CPS.
