My name is Amy Hong Li and I teach Pre-K. I have been in education for 2 years in America, both of those being with CPS. I attended Northeastern State University where I received a Masters degree. I am married and have a daughter. We also have a dog, Moses, who is a misbehaved child, but we love him very much. I enjoy exercising and cooking for my family. I love Claremont because it is a big loving family. The staff work together for the best of their students and families.

THEIR FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT Cancer may feel like someone else's fight if you have not experienced it in your own life. But CHS has decided THEIR FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT! Over the past four years, the ZUAC (Zebras United Against Cancer) Committee has helped raise over 9K to help our ZEBRA family members fighting this disease directly. We have supported students & employees with Lymphoma, Prostate Cancer, Leukemia, Ewings Sarcoma, Breast Cancer, & Pancreatic Cancer in our elementary schools, our junior high, and our high school. We have experienced this disease as a family district-wide. This is why our theme this year is "THEIR FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT" because family takes care of family. Although all our clubs contribute to the fundraising, the ZUAC t-shirt sales are the largest part of our efforts. We hope you will be a part of showing our #CPSZEBRPRIDE and giving hope to our ZEBRA family members.

One of our Kindergarten students spends time at the sensory table. A sensory table is a great way for children to learn how to independently explore the world around them, problem-solve, develop creativity, and refine conversational skills. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Today is National Read Across America Day! Read Across America Day was created by the National Education Association as a reading initiative to celebrate reading. There are several ways to celebrate Read Across America Day - we shared our favorites below. -Pick up an interesting book and read it. -More importantly, read with a child. -Join your library. -Read a book you’ve been meaning to read. -Read a book you’ve read before. You may discover that it has new meaning to you since you last read it. -Try reading aloud, even if it is just to yourself. It will make great practice for reading to children. (Hint, hint.) #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
