🪁 The Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance is providing another STEM in a Bag this Friday. The kite kits will be available during the Meal 2 Go: Drive Thru while supplies last on Friday, May 8th at Westside, Cedar Point, and the CPS Enrollment Center.
🪁 A perfect way to engage our students in STEM and physical activity while experiencing first-hand forces and interactions, which is a huge science standard in many grades. Building a kite also hits a few math standards, including exploring and developing visual representations of
growing geometric patterns.
🪁 Building kites also allows students to explore the engineering principles of building, testing, revising, and testing again!
Not to mention the family memories they will make. 🪁🪁🪁
Did you know our child nutrition department has braved the front lines and served more than 54,000 meals to students during school building closures?!
INCREDIBLE!
They are true heroes, if you ask us!
At the end of the 19th century, "The Lady With the Lamp"— or as she is more widely known, Florence Nightingale — founded modern nursing. Thanks to her strict use of hand-washing and hygiene practices while caring for wounded soldiers in the Crimean War, Nightingale and her helpers reduced the death rate from 42% to 2% — ushering in nursing as we know it today. On May 6, we recognize the vital role nurses play in our lives by celebrating National Nurses Day.
There is more than maintaining medical records and making sure immunizations are up-to-date. Thank you to our nurses who give hugs that cure the body and soul.
Let's give these ladies a virtual hug today!

CPS Teachers,
During past weeks, TTCU knows how quickly you and your teachers have adapted to a new way of teaching. Even though we couldn’t be there in person, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to celebrate one of the biggest weeks of the year, Teacher Appreciation Week. We hope that you will watch the 1-minute video below of love and support. - TTCU

In addition to the traditional commencement ceremony with its cap and gown and congratulatory handshakes, valedictorian speech (or speeches) and recognition of outstanding achievements, most communities also have baccalaureate ceremonies. Formally defined as a religious service to honor the graduating class, a more reflective event that focuses on students' personal growth and achievement.
the Claremore Ministerial Alliance has hosted this event for years. This year is no different, the traditional Baccalaureate service will be this Sunday, May 3rd at 3 PM, but like most public events this year, it will be virtual. The community is invited to watch it on the Facebook pages or website of several local churches in our area. Tune in to watch some of your classmates speak, sing, and recognize Mrs. Andrews, the senior's choice for their Teacher of the Year.

Words have such power don’t they? Especially words fed to us as we are growing up. The first-grade teachers at Roosa are making sure their students still hear those encouraging words that help motivate them, help assure them, help grow them. They are sending a message of hope their students will remember for decades to come.
Students in 8th - 10th grade are encouraged to apply for the OKLAHOMA PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP ASAP. Class of 2022 - June 30th is your final chance to submit your application. After sophomore year they will not let you begin an application.
You may not qualify now, but you might by the time you head off to college. If you have an application on file and don't qualify at this time, but do in a couple of years, you can go back and adjust it and plead your case. If you have not started the process, you can NOT go back! Don't think you want to go to college - THINGS CHANGE. Do it anyway. Don't take away an option you may not realize you might want in the future.
Take the time to do this ASAP!
