A great day of learning beyond the classroom!
#CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Students in Mrs. Higgins recently built and coded their own robots and then put them to the test with a fun game of robot freeze tag!
This hands-on activity challenged students to think like engineers and programmers while learning how coding controls movement and behavior. Watching their creations come to life made the lesson even more exciting!
Great job to our future engineers and innovators!
#CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Of course, science sometimes requires a few sacrifices… and in this case, it was a few very brave gummy bears!
Through fun experiments and a little creativity, students were able to see these concepts come to life right before their eyes. Learning is always better when it’s interactive!

A Special Year at Our School – 7 Sets of Twins!👯♂️
Did you know that this year we have NINE sets of twins attending our school? How amazing is that!
Twins are already something special — and having nine sets in one school year is incredibly rare! Statistically, twin births occur in about 3 out of every 100 births, which makes having this many sets learning and growing together under one roof something truly unique.
We love seeing the special bonds they share, while also watching each child shine as an individual in their own way.
Our school is definitely double the fun this year!

Students in Mrs. Simmonds’ class participated in interactive Sound Wave Stations to investigate how sound travels and behaves. Through hands-on activities, they explored key concepts including refraction, reflection, transmission, and absorption of sound waves.
These engaging stations allowed students to observe real-world examples, collaborate with classmates, and deepen their understanding of how sound moves through different materials and environments.
#CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Our guests did a fantastic job sharing their experiences and inspiring younger students to explore all that FFA has to offer. Thank you to our high school FFA members for taking the time to invest in and encourage the next generation!
