Dear Parents and Students, I’m pleased to announce that your child has the opportunity to represent their school for a once in a lifetime trip to Washington, D.C. in the summer of 2021. Imagine your child seeing history come to life in D.C., viewing the monuments and exploring the Smithsonians, getting to see where our government was born. To answer all your questions, I will be hosting a mandatory virtual meeting to discuss our itinerary, what’s included, and the price. There is limited space on this trip, and spots will be filled up on a first-come, first-served basis. It will be necessary to come to the meeting in order to enroll on our tour. This trip is open to all upcoming classes to the high school, grades 9-12 next school year. Please RSVP online by clicking here: Our D.C. Class Trip Meeting! After you register, a link to the Zoom meeting will be sent to your email a day before the meeting. I believe this will be a truly impactful experience, and I hope you are excited to learn more about this incredible opportunity! Sincerely, Drew Cummings Claremore High School United States History Teacher

This week we celebrated National Nurses Day, but we know there are more healthcare workers out there making a difference during this pandemic. 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.

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!

What Day Is It? 🐪🐪 HUMP DAY! CHS teachers send out a little encouragement to get us through the week! Watch the video on FB or Youtube. https://youtu.be/1H7zv1nzk_4 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

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

Every teacher devotes his or her life to education for reasons as individual to them as any other part of their identity. Becoming a teacher for whatever reason is personal but is almost always all united by the desire to impact peoples’ lives, to make a difference, to influence others in a positive manner, to change the world… The heart of a CHS teacher is no different and these students are sharing with us how they’ve made impacted their lives during Teacher Appreciation Week. Wednesday https://youtu.be/eQ1HLSI9MQc

Teachers are role models for students, appearing in many areas of life, such as coaches, trainers, mentors, tutors, counselors, and administrators. Teachers instruct in core academics, life skills, character, problem-solving, while others enhance fitness levels, music skills, or business skills. Currently, they may even be video editors, actors, directors, and tech advisors. Teacher Appreciation Week 2020 provides an invaluable chance to reflect on the essential role of a teacher in a child’s life. Students may not be sitting in our brick & mortar classrooms, they may not be running on our fields or courts or walking our halls, but that has not stopped them from reaching out to say a genuine thank you to our teachers.

We won’t have Sonic drinks, chocolate-covered strawberries, the ice cream truck, or the administrators grilling burgers this year. BUT, we can still celebrate all the hard work our CHS teachers put in before all this chaos started, their current work as a virtual teacher, and the work still left to be done when life goes back to “normal.” Teacher Appreciation Week 2020 will go down in the history books as the weirdest school holiday. But fortunately, we know how to make the best out of any situation. 🙂 Our students have so much to appreciate about our teachers and we wanted to share them with you. We’ll be sharing a new video each day about some of our teachers here at CHS. Monday https://youtu.be/7p4KDl2yyLU

The personal item retrieval and school property return scheduled for ATHLETICS tonight is moving to Wednesday, due to the severe weather forecast.

Parents and Students, We have now completed four weeks of distance learning. Students remember that you are still in school. You may not be in the building with your teachers, but they are instructing you from their home to yours. We have two more weeks of instruction and then four days of making sure you complete all of your assignments. 𝒯𝑜 𝓈𝑒𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒸𝑜𝓂𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓉𝑒 𝓂𝑒𝓈𝓈𝒶𝑔𝑒 𝒸𝒽𝑒𝒸𝓀 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝑒𝓂𝒶𝒾𝓁...

CPS Teachers, During past weeks, TTCU knows how quickly you and your teachers have adapted to a new way of teaching. Even though we couldn’t be there in person, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to celebrate one of the biggest weeks of the year, Teacher Appreciation Week. We hope that you will watch the 1-minute video below of love and support. - TTCU https://youtu.be/O6MEmXmy4R0 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #TTCU
