Thank you for joining us in the Everglow Forest!
Recently, our school was transformed into a whimsical woodland for Literacy Night at the Everglow Forest! We had so much fun with you! Students and families engaged in forest-themed interactive stations (coloring fairy doors, hunting for fairy dust, making puppets, etc) and storybook-themed activities -- complete with surprise mystery readers!
Walkathon Success
We are incredibly grateful to our amazing students, families, staff and community members who donated their time, energy, and support to make our Walkathon fundraiser a huge success! Thanks to your generosity, we not only met—but surpassed—our schoolwide goal, bringing in nearly $26,000!
Our students had an unforgettable time outdoors with you all, cheering, laughing, and celebrating together. Your support means the world to them and to all of us. Thank you for being such an important part of our school community.
Congratulations, Mustangs!

After advocating for our students over the past two years, we are happy to share that CPS has replaced our front steps! Our next project that we are advocating for is repairing the asphalt on the back side of the building!
Thank you to our early childhood classrooms and families for sponsoring our "little garden" and to Ms. Ryan for helping our prek and kindergarten students create a new garden sign!
