Mrs. Newbury's science class just wrapped up our unit on waves, and it's been a total eye-opener! 👁 Students learned how visible light creates the colors we see, but did you know there's a whole world of unseen waves out there? To get a better understanding, students took a closer look at the inner workings of the human eye, discovering how it detects different wavelengths and transforms them into the vibrant hues we see! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

In a creative twist on the classic "Simon Says" game, Ms. Reyes' class took it to the floor—literally! Using a large map as their game board, students played a version of Simon Says that not only tested their listening skills but also their geographical knowledge. Who knew learning could be this fun? Way to go, Ms. Reyes' class! And a special thank you to the Oklahoma Alliance for Geographic Education who graciously lent us their traveling giant map of South America! Students spotted many cities, landforms, and even found exact coordinates of places. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

🏈PLAYER OF THE WEEK🏈 Our 7th grade players of the week are Christian Lona on defense and Kade Shuey on offense. Christian was around many tackles on the defensive side all game. He also had a forced fumble that the Zebras recovered in the red zone. Christian has shown improvement every week on the defensive side. Kade has shown great leadership growth throughout this year. It was displayed last night with making sure all positions on offense were lined up correctly. He puts the team above himself and is willing to play any position that will benefit the team. Devin Kinnard and Ryder Green are our 8th grade players of the week! Devin on offense was unstoppable, he had over 150 yards of offense and an interception on defense. He also returns kicks for the zebras and is electric doing it on both punts and kick returns. Ryder Green is the defensive player of the week and against Pryor wherever the ball was Ryder Green was there! He made countless tackles and a few for loss, he also caused a turnover. With their efforts the Zebras beat the Tigers 25-6 and improve to 6-1 on the season. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
