Paxson got to ride to school in a fire truck last week 🚒—how cool is that?! When he arrived, some of his classmates were already outside waiting to cheer him on…talk about a grand entrance! 👏 Paxson won this awesome experience at our PTO Bingo Night as one of the auction prizes. You never know what fun surprises are up for grabs—so make sure to join us next year for your chance to win something just as exciting! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Ms. Loyd’s 5th grade science classes have been digging into all things plants! 🌱 They’ve been learning how plants grow and make food for us, and how that energy helps fuel our bodies. To bring their learning to life, students planted their very own radish, lettuce, beans, and sunflowers! 🌻 They’re excited to watch them grow and compare which plants sprout the fastest. We love seeing hands-on learning in action—way to grow, 5th grade! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

We are still looking for test proctors!!! Would you be able to come and help with testing?!?! I have attached the signup genius!!

Earlier this week, two of our talented students competed in the Jr. Master Chef Competition! 👩‍🍳

Melina and Ava wowed the judges with their delicious recipes and showed off their amazing cooking skills. Not only did they do a fantastic job, but they also had so much fun in the kitchen!

We are so proud of both of them for their hard work, creativity, and confidence… and a big shoutout to Ava for earning 2nd place!

The future is definitely cooking up something bright at Catalayah!
