District Updates

Last week was a week of celebration and appreciation. On Friday, May 7, 2021, it was School Lunch Hero Day. The CPS thanked its hard working, dedicated, amazing food service staff with flowers, cake, and a card full of thanks. These women have produced and served 1,198,500 meals since March of 2020. They are incredible and should be celebrated regularly.

•May 3-7 was Teacher Appreciation Week. The District and Schools found many ways to thank our amazing teachers, paras, and support staff.  In celebration of Teacher’s Appreciation week, CPS’s friends at the Chelsea Kiwanis Club, in coordination with the Parent Liaisons & Buildings and Grounds, were very kind in sending Dunkin Donuts Coffee and Donuts to all the teachers at each of the nine schools. THANK YOU to Renee Griffin and her awesome staff at the Chelsea Dunkin Donuts on Everett Ave. for all of their help coordinating this.  The Central Office Team in addition sent teachers a sweet surprise to wrap up the week.  Thank you to Stop & Shop Everett for baking all nine cakes for our teachers.
