🌟 WOW Wednesday Spotlight: Celebrating Creativity & Kindness! 🌟

This week, we’re celebrating two amazing educators who inspire our students in unique and powerful ways!

🎨 Ms. Parsons – CCHS Art
Her students explore what Peace means to them through the Lions International Peace Poster Contest. This year’s theme, Together as One, brought out incredible talent and reflection — with three students advancing to the next level!

💛 Ms. Rigney – CCES 5th Grade
Her Wall of Positivity invites students to lift one another up by sharing kind, encouraging notes throughout the year — spreading joy and building a culture of care across the school.

Together, they show how creativity and kindness make CCPS shine! ✨
