Mrs. Gray's kindergarten class made 2D shapes with toothpicks and marshmallows this past week.
The district recently hosted its Superintendent's Breakfast. While in attendance, Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Smith were awarded certificates for their outstanding dedication and contribution to our school for the first semester of the 2025-2026 school year.
First grade students in drama class are learning about dia de los muertos in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.
On World Cerebral Palsy Day, we come together to show support and raise awareness for individuals living with cerebral palsy around the world. This year, we would love for our school community to join in!
💚 On October 7th, we invite all students and staff to wear green.
Green is the official color of cerebral palsy awareness, and by wearing it, we show our care, respect, and solidarity with the millions of people who live with CP.
This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about kindness, inclusion, and celebrating differences. Thank you for helping us create a school culture that values and supports everyone.
We can’t wait to see our school shine bright in green!💚
Students from Ms. Moore’s class celebrated Hispanic Heritage month in Mrs. Argueta’s class. They learned about a Guatemalan dish, “chuchitos” and a Mexican dish, sope. They even had big sister, a former CP student, come and give the step by step directions.

Today is National School Custodian Day, and we want to give a huge THANK YOU to our amazing custodial team!

If you see our custodians today, be sure to give them a big “thank you!”

October is National Principals Month!
Each October, schools across the country celebrate National Principals Month to honor the hard work and dedication of principals. Principals guide our schools, support teachers and staff, and most importantly, help students grow and succeed.
At City Park Elementary, we are so thankful for our principal, Ms. Rhyne! Her leadership, encouragement, and care for our students and families make City Park a wonderful place to learn. This month, we celebrate and thank Ms. Rhyne for everything she does for our school community.

The official Dot Day may have passed already, but the creativity is still flowing in Mr. D's art classes. Students have created dots manually using spin machines and virtually using the Quiver app!
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Mrs. Argueta's class enjoyed a visit from some family members of a classmate! The students got to participate in the making of tortillas which resulted in delicious tacos! PAWS loves when multiple generations of a family can come together right here on the 405 Block!
Our student council did a great job this morning at their first meeting! We had several cases of water donated to our school, and they put their muscles together to help get them moved and organized. We also brainstormed a potential fundraising activity to promote kindness in our school. We can't wait to see what all this great group of student leaders comes up with this school year!
PAWS is bananas over his new library station! He is using the word game Bananagrams to encourage students to collaboratively build words. He introduced it this week through our PAWSitive Panther Character Trait for October...KINDNESS!
Mrs. Roper's kindergarten math students represented sides and vertices in a fun way this week!
