Be creative and and put together a tabletop display to share - that's all there is to it! Time to start Remember representatives get up to $50 to make your display, buy food etc for your country representation. If you would like to represent a country, please email Tina Best besttin@cps-k12.org with your name, your child’s name, and the country you hope to present.

- Volunteer your child to be a Customs Agent! We need some mature, responsible students to be helpers/runners aka "customs agents" to help with many things during the evening - handing out passports, guiding visitors around school, emptying trash, etc. If you think your child would be interested contact Tina Best at besttin@cps-k12.org

Eagle of the Week
Eagle of the Week once again goes to an entire team. This time we want to recognize our 4th grade boys basketball team! I've watched these boys play several games and they all play with heart and passion. On January 18th, they reached a pretty significant milestone for youth basketball; every player on the team has scored this season! But this doesn't happen by accident. The boys work hard to improve each week and they've helped each other reach this goal. Their teamwork has truly shined through. Congratulations boys, we are all very proud of you and your accomplishments.
