Mrs. Stacey Bason is a Reading Enrichment Teacher and ELL (English Language Learner) Teacher at WRJH. She has worked for CPS for 5 years.

Hearing and watching the crowd, coaches, wrestlers, and other students cheering for Blake was UNBELIEVABLE! This was one of the most exciting memories and one she hopes to never forget.
Blake Bacon is another one of ours who was born and raised to bleed #ZEBRARED. He attended Catalayah, WRJH, and of course CHS. He is active in athletics playing football and wrestling. He also is a member of the Young Republicans Club. His favorite memories are all centered around participating in athletics whether it was on the field, on the mat, or in the stands.

It's State Testing Time and we even saw some smiles at Catalayah 😀.
Testing is only for 3rd & 5th grades, but the entire school gets to be involved because at Catalayah we cheer each other on to success.
The grades who were not testing made goody bags to encourage our students that were testing. They decorated the bags with encouraging words and filled the bags with candy and mints.
