Mark your calendar for Chick Fil A night!! Tuesday, April 16th 5PM-8PM is Catalayah's fundraiser night at Chick Fil A. Make sure you mention Spirit Night when ordering or use code ZEBRA on the app. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

In Mrs. Griffins 1st grade win groups, they are learning about why we have different seasons. While focusing on each season, they are reading poems about them, and then writing about their favorite things in each season. These lessons teach science, reading, and writing. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Students have been learning about song form and structure in music. This week music and PE combined to listen to the finale to the William tell overture and labeled each part. After correctly labeling we assigned movements to each part with the parachute. These are the pictures from this activity. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

We have a special shoutout this morning!!! Ms. Toops class earned breakfast with the Principal!!!! This is a special honor that no other classes have earned this year or I think last year even. They earned this award by having perfect attendance. Everyone in the class had to be not only present for the day but on time!! Attendance awards: 12 days, extra recess 14 days, special treat 18 days, breakfast with principal 20 days, lunch with principal! Attendance is so important!!! Not just to earn these treats but being on time for school really sets the tone for the entire day for your kids. We would love to be able to give away more treats, breakfasts and lunches this year!!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Assistant Principal Day!!! On National Assistant Principal Day, let's give a round of applause to the wizard behind the scenes who turn school mayhem into magic every single day! Mrs. Basks is such an asset to our team! She is such a hard worker and enjoys learning new things. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Our staff worked together to provide a luncheon for our paras to enjoy today!! We also drew names throughout the day to surprise each of them with a gift. Our cafeteria staff also got each of our paras a box of Girl Scout cookies!!! Thank you to our paraprofessionals for all you do!!! We hope you felt special today!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Today is School Librarian Day!! National Librarian Day is a celebration of the unsung heroes of literature who keep the world turning, one page at a time. It's a day to honor those who don't just shush, but also inspire, guide, and ignite the flames of imagination in every reader they encounter. So, Mrs. James and Mrs. Couch, here's to you: may your stacks be ever organized, your coffee be forever hot, and your adventures within the pages never cease! Mrs. James is a Rockstar. If you haven't heard her read to these kids you are missing out. She is amazing. We can't forget Mrs. Couch. She filled in for Mrs. James earlier this year and has been such a blessing to us. Thank you Mrs. James and Mrs. Couch! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

It's Paraprofessional Day!!! Here at Catalayah we have 15 of the most incredible paras you could ask for. They go above and beyond every single day. If you see these ladies around today or this week be sure you tell them how much you appreciate them!!! Thank you so much for all you do Paras!!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
