Teaching entrepreneurship in elementary school??? That's just what Westside GT classes are learning. The students created a button production business plan in order to raise money for their activities. Button designs promote kindness, encouragement, sports, hobbies, music, and holidays.
Like all good corporate citizens, the students choose to give a portion of their profits back to Westside. After their first spirit button sale, they presented their first donation of $64 to Mrs. Hinds.

❄It's been a while since we had any snow...outside.
The warmer weather forecast called for a snowball fight in Mrs. Campbell's class. After throwing and collecting their snowballs, students would practice reading the sight words written on them. It was snow much fun!

Tell us about an act of kindness that impacted you this week!
To help students understand how kindness has its ripple effect, students shared an act of kindness they had shown with their classmates and then dropped a stone in the water to watch the ripples spread. They then discussed how their personal experience was like ripples in water.

Do you remember your bus driver?
Bus drivers are one of the first and last people students see during their school day. The opportunity to influence our students positively makes a difference in the hundreds of Zebras' lives who ride our buses daily.
THANK YOU for your commitment to MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

ART or PE - we all know both classes' advantages. However, students were posed a question to teach the art of creating a well thought out argumentative paper. Which subject, art or physical education, should schools require students to take?
Students began researching by partnering with another classmate to read scholarly articles about both options. With their newfound information, they discussed the evidence they could use to support their claim.
Luckily, at CPS, elementary students enjoy time in both classes weekly. Secondary students have the option to take one or both as electives.

Kindergarteners are always learning so our staff is always teaching.
Even as they wait for pick up, Mrs. Freeman engages students with an end-of-day activity to reinforce their learning. She holds up a letter on a flashcard, the students make the sound of that letter and then she has to guess the letter!

CPS appreciates our School Resource Officers (SRO). They are not just here to deter the negative things but to be proactive and build relationships with the students, staff and families.
The SRO assignment is unique within the law enforcement profession. These officers fill a three-part role, serving as informal mentors or counselors, law educators and law enforcement officers to support the students and communities they serve. They are valuable and essential members of the education community who deserve unwavering respect and support from the public in the pursuit of keeping schools and students safe.
CPS has two SROs for its six campuses. Officer Nate Turman, whose primary responsibility is secondary and Officer Bobby Hagan, whose primary responsibility is elementary, although they ultimately cover all CPS campuses, as needed.
