It's EARLY RELEASE TODAY. Students get out of school at 2:00 Don't forget- It's a 3 day weekend! We are out of school on Monday Sept 2 for Labor Day. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

REMINDER - In honor of the Labor Day holiday, CPS will be closed on Monday, September 2nd. "Before the reward, there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy." Ralph Ransom Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. The labor movement created it in the late 19th century, and it became a federal holiday in 1894. This weekend, as we spend time with our families and friends, celebrate the value of an honest day's work, the people who built America, and our nation's advancements because of the American labor force. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
