It’s been almost a month since the start of school and our pre-K class has shown impressive courage, curiosity, and compassion while adjusting to life at CPS! Already, they are making friends on the playground, practicing sorting and handwriting, and learning how to describe and label their emotions. As they become more comfortable with our routines and daily activities, we look forward to the ways they will blossom as the year continues!🌷

Our Friday community meetings have resumed with the start of the school year! For those who don’t know, our entire student body comes together on Friday mornings to share a little about what they learned that week. Led by our school counselor Ms. Artz and 4th and 5th grade MCs, we also take time to highlight students who demonstrate the 3C’s and to practice gratitude and calming techniques.

Although community meetings are only one way that we connect and gather as school, they are a great way to check in with each other at the end of each week.💕

Monday was our Alumni Volunteer Day! Over 20 alumni visited to help out in the classrooms and act as role models for current students. Alumni also had a chance to bond with each other and make connections across different grades and current schools. We are overjoyed that our graduates continue to come back and remain a part of the CPS community; it wouldn’t be the same without our alumni!😊

Our tabling adventures continue! This past Saturday, we attended both Strawberry Mansion Day and the K-12 Philly School Fair, where we met and talked with community members about what CPS has to offer. We even ran into our wonderful CPS alum Najeerah, from the class of 2020!💕

Thank you to everyone who came to say hi, and to Strawberry Mansion CDC and Elevate 215 and Philly Schools Compass for having us!🎈

We held our first Family Night of the year last night! Thank you to all of the parents, guardians, and family members who joined us to go over procedures and relevant information. We hope you enjoyed meeting with your child’s teachers and we appreciate your help with making this a great school year!💫

Family engagement is an important part of our mission and values at CPS. By promoting a strong partnership between home and school, we empower families to participate in their children’s education and to enjoy the successes they achieve together.💗

Look out for more family events as the year continues!

We had a great time tabling at Tree House Books’ Philadelphia Literacy Day last Saturday! It was wonderful to see everyone come out to enjoy the festivities and to speak with community members about our school. We are thrilled to support literacy events throughout the city; and we are proud that 89% of CPS students in grades three to five had a literacy rate at or above grade level last year.📚

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table and thank you to Tree House Books for having us!🌟

If you missed the chance to see us and say hi, we will also be tabling at Strawberry Mansion Day on September 19 from 12pm to 6pm at Mander Rec Center—hope to see you there!👋
