CPS school sites and central office will be closed on Monday, January 15th, in honor of the Martin Luther King holiday. As we approach the Martin Luther King holiday, let us remember his words: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?' ” Volunteering your time, money, or energy to help others not only makes the world a better place, but it also enhances your own life. Here are some benefits of helping others: ✋🏾 Helping others can help you live longer. ✋🏽 Altruism is contagious. ✋🏼 Helping others makes us happy. ✋🏻 Helping others promotes positive behaviors. ✋ Helping others gives us a sense of purpose and satisfaction. How do you serve others? #cpszebrapride

Before break, students in Ms. Taber’s 4th grade science class were doing major research & presented about natural disasters. The students were put in small groups where they used their devices to research facts & information on their group’s topic. The groups used teamwork to develop their presentation, to create a poster to present to their whole class & they grew their public speaking skills. Awesome job researchers! We love to see it! 💻🦓💪🏽 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
