Welcome back to our amazing teachers and staff! We had a delicious breakfast from Chick-Fil-A, we danced, we won prizes and honored some well deserved teachers. Our Zebra Band even played the fight song while our teachers and staff sang along. It was a wonderful way to kick off the 24-25 school year! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

This week on Friday Favorites, we hear from Mrs. Ihle! "Every 4 years, I get to watch my absolute favorite thing - the Olympics! I love watching athletes at the top of their game passionately compete for their countries. These athletes have worked hard and sacrificed so much to get to this stage, and I love seeing them put their whole heart out there in hopes of bringing home the Gold. As an athlete myself, there is nothing better to watch." Are you watching the Olympics? What have you enjoyed so far? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
