🎭✨ Exciting things are happening with our 5th & 6th Grade Play — Alice in Wonderland!

On Monday, we had a special guest, Brock Bourek, join us to teach choreography for the Queen’s Croquet scene! 👑🎶 Brock, a CPS alumni, earned degrees in Theatre and Arts Management and returned to share his talent and experience with our young performers.

We’re so grateful for his guidance as he helps our cast bring this whimsical story to life! 🌹🐇 Don’t miss our performances of Alice in Wonderland on December 5 & 6 — it’s sure to be a magical show! ✨🎬

Last week in 5th-grade PE, Students participated in a fun and challenging strategy activity known as "The Human Knot"! 🤝 This exercise encourages important life skills of critical thinking and teamwork as students work together to untangle themselves without letting go of each other's hands. Keep up the great work, Discoverers! 💪🎉

We did something kind of fun and festive during our math review today. We reviewed fractions by solving a riddle. The students worked together to answer the review questions in exchange for a letter and the letters spelled out the answer! I took pictures so I thought I would send!

On Thursday, the final game of the season brought tough losses for our Columbus Middle School 8th-grade A and B football teams. We want to thank every player for their commitment, the coaches for their guidance, and all the parents and fans for their incredible support throughout the season. These boys battled hard and showed tremendous heart. We're excited to see what they achieve in their next steps in high school sports!
