🪁 The Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance is providing another STEM in a Bag this Friday. The kite kits will be available during the Meal 2 Go: Drive Thru while supplies last on Friday, May 8th at Westside, Cedar Point, and the CPS Enrollment Center. 🪁 A perfect way to engage our students in STEM and physical activity while experiencing first-hand forces and interactions, which is a huge science standard in many grades. Building a kite also hits a few math standards, including exploring and developing visual representations of growing geometric patterns. 🪁 Building kites also allows students to explore the engineering principles of building, testing, revising, and testing again! Not to mention the family memories they will make. 🪁🪁🪁

Happy National Nurses Day to Mrs. Egleston and all the amazing nurses out there! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

At the end of the 19th century, "The Lady With the Lamp"— or as she is more widely known, Florence Nightingale — founded modern nursing. Thanks to her strict use of hand-washing and hygiene practices while caring for wounded soldiers in the Crimean War, Nightingale and her helpers reduced the death rate from 42% to 2% — ushering in nursing as we know it today. On May 6, we recognize the vital role nurses play in our lives by celebrating National Nurses Day. There is more than maintaining medical records and making sure immunizations are up-to-date. Thank you to our nurses who give hugs that cure the body and soul. Let's give these ladies a virtual hug today! JENNIFER MASON SHEA JACKSON TERESA EGLESTON KIM TEAGUE #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

We ❤️ our teachers! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
