Our district teacher of the year is so important to us! Superintendent Bryan Frazier and other administrators decided to drop in on a staff ZOOM meeting to surprise her. Little did she know they were actually in her front yard - with a “little” sign and a “big” announcement. Congratulations to... https://youtu.be/Nn-J7fMaWYs

Do you know of any CPS alumni working in the healthcare field during the pandemic? We want to recognize them! 😷 Tag them 😷 Post a photo 😷 Comment what they are doing and where 😷 If you know it, the year they graduated Let’s show them our #CPSZEBRAPRIDE on the CPS Facebook page.

If you picked up a STEM in a Bag today during the Meals 2 Go: Drive Thru, Mrs. Rahn has some instructions for you. https://youtu.be/qkP63VQ9p1o

It’s the last day of Teacher Appreciation Week. Let your teachers know how much you appreciate them!!! Enjoy this cute video we put together for our teachers! Thank you to all our students that sent in videos!! https://youtu.be/ZZoIof5LTEA #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

🪁 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. 🪁🪁🪁

Did you know our child nutrition department has braved the front lines and served more than 54,000 meals to students during school building closures?! INCREDIBLE! They are true heroes, if you ask us!

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
