Roosa Staff Spotlight - Miss Brewer, Speech Pathologist - This is my 5th year but first with CPS! I was concerned about transitioning to CPS during this particular school year but my coworkers have made me feel right at home! I am so impressed by the incredible community support both with supplies and snacks! When not at school, I am active with my church, hike with friends, or read in my hammock. My favorite book from my childhood is "Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles." #ROOSASTAFFSPOTLIGHT #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Staff Spotlight - Mrs. LaValley - I am newly married to my husband, JD! I am a Roosa alumnus and graduated from CHS. One of the best parts of being a teacher is not what I teach them, but what they teach me every single day. Our students are the most resilient, kind, and patient children I know. Seeing their faces light up with joy when they finally grasp a concept they have been working on is the most amazing feeling. #ROOSASTAFFSPOTLIGHT #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
This year has been filled with chatter of how hard 2020 has been. And, that is undoubtedly true.
But, as we observe Thanksgiving today, let's remember there have been moments of wonder, beauty, and celebration in 2020 as well.
We have met new people and learned new skills. We experienced new ways of seeing the world, impacting lives, and helping others. Let's not forget the cherished time spent with family. And, maybe, just maybe, these tough times have allowed us the sacred opportunity of growing.
One of the most beautiful things is how people have come together to support each other. Drive-by birthday parties, companies sharing resources for free or at discounts to help educators do great work even though they were facing the unknown. Parents sending extra hand sanitizer, tissues, and gift cards to show their support and love for teachers. Restaurants feeding first responders and healthcare workers. These moments have been inspiring.
Yes, there have been some gruesome moments in our world this year, but there are moments that are worth holding onto with a very tight grip.
Let's be great curators of the moments deserving our attention.
We may not be sitting around the table together, but we do hold each other in our hearts and consider each of you a blessing in our lives.

Before Thanksgiving Break the 4th grade students dressed up for their Thanksgiving Lunch. They wore the latest fashion in Pilgrim wear and Native American fashion fitting to the 1600's. Not to leave out the fashion of 2020, face masks were included with all the costumes. #THANSKGIVING2020 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
