🥁 A little rhythm, a lot of teamwork!
Mrs. Lively’s 7th graders are practicing their classroom callback for the year. When they hear the drum, they know exactly what to do! This simple routine puts several of our Great Expectations Life Principles into action, including Self-Discipline, Cooperation, Respect, and Responsibility.
Great Expectations isn’t just something we talk about. It’s something our students practice in the little moments every day!

🏈🔥FOOTBALL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK! 🔥🏈
7TH GRADE: Let’s give a HUGE shoutout to Mateo Grimett for being named our 7th Grade Player of the Game!
Mateo was an absolute FORCE all over the field, putting together an incredible performance and finding the end zone THREE times!
But it wasn’t just Mateo — the entire 7th Grade team showed up and DOMINATED, pitching a SHUTOUT against the Adair Warriors!
And you know what that means…
A BIG OL’ DONUT ON THE SCOREBOARD = DONUTS FOR THE TEAM!
Way to battle, 7th Grade! We are so proud of the effort, toughness, and teamwork you guys showed! Keep working, keep believing, and keep making memories!
8TH GRADE:
Let’s give a HUGE shoutout to Cash Wolf for being named our 8th Grade Player of the Game!
Cash stepped up in a BIG way this week, taking the reins at QB and leading the team with TWO total touchdowns!
But Cash wasn’t done there! On defense, he was a force at inside linebacker, flying around the field and making multiple key tackles when his team needed him most!
Way to go, Cash! Your leadership, toughness, and willingness to do whatever the team needs did not go unnoticed! We’re proud of you!

🏗️ STEM Challenge: Building Tall!
Ms. Dooley’s STEM students jumped right into a Tallest Straw Tower Challenge! Students worked together to build the tallest tower they could using straws while practicing important classroom procedures, teamwork, communication, and expectations.
What a fun way to start the year—learning, creating, collaborating, and putting those STEM skills to work! 💡📏
We’re excited to see what this group builds next!

How do you get to know your classmates at the beginning of school? Your class does a "happy human treasure hunt"!
Mrs. Pennell's classes were becoming fast friends when they did a human treasure hunt. During the first few days of school, they took some time to meet new people, learning fun things about classmates, and discovering what we all have in common.

In honor of the Labor Day holiday, CPS will be closed on Monday, September 7th, 2026.
"Before the reward, there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy." Ralph Ransom
Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. The labor movement created it in the late 19th century, and it became a federal holiday in 1894.
