Happy #SchoolPRDay! 🎉 Today, on the second Friday of May, we celebrate @NSPRA National School Communicators Day, dedicated to the talented individuals who craft our school’s narratives, share our triumphs, and keep everyone connected.
Today, we shine the spotlight on those who work magic behind the screens, behind the lens, behind the stories! Whether they’re known around here as the "Facebook guru," "website wizard," "bossy lady," or "school paparazzi,"—you get the picture (catch that pun 📷). Each title just scratches the surface of their many talents.
Thank you to everyone who helps us connect, communicate, celebrate, and cultivate a strong partnership with our CPS families and community. Here’s to the stories we tell and the memories we cherish!
And to the unsung heroes of our team - our staff, students, interns, and the community, for your contributions. Your vibrant #CPSZEBRAPRIDE is the heartbeat of our storytelling. We couldn’t weave these wonderful tales without your fantastic photos, lively updates, and engaging content.
