Throwback Thursday to the Early Explorers research project that some of our 4th graders did as a part of their WIN time. These students had to research an explorer, plan for a presentation and then got to create their explorer for a visual to use with their presentations. These students did an exceptional job! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE




Today, December 10th is National Dewey Decimal Day. If you ask Mrs. Troyer, our Library Media Specialist, the Dewey Decimal System is pretty important. Without it, locating books for students would be quite the task!

Our very own Mrs. Camber had a birthday this week, and her sweet Pre-K students made cards for her, with the help of Mrs. Smith - our Pre-K Para. They were so excited to celebrate with Mrs. Camber and eager to create something just for her.
