Welcome to Starbooks at Will Rogers Junior High! 📚☕ Students get to“taste” seven different books by reading a summary and evaluating the first few pages in chapter 1. After they’ve “sampled” each book, they get to choose which one they want to read for their upcoming Book Clubs! Of course, it wouldn’t be Starbooks without a mini muffin and pink lemonade treats! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #WillRogersJuniorHigh

A rock-ing field trip!👷🏻‍♂️⛰👷🏻‍♀️ Fourth-grade Westside students recently went to APAC-Central and toured the quarry! They learned about the different types of rocks that can be found there and what is done with them. They also learned about and got a hands-on experience with the massive equipment that's utilized. One of their favorite parts was hunting for fossils and minerals. They were all thrilled they got to keep their top 3 favorite stones!💎🏔 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
