Another reason Cumberland Elementary School is the best! The kids got to go to a FREE book fair today. The 4th graders were so happy with their books! #ccesdukes #WeAreCuCPS

The Day Before the SOL-
We laughed, we ate takis and animal crackers, we pledged to try our best (not to pass) and put our pledges in a jar, and we made posters to celebrate how far we have come as readers and people. This test is not our only focus, so we relaxed and let it be!

When brothers meet at the Senior Walk down the elementary halls, this happens! One is a 4th grader moving up to middle school and the other is a Senior moving on to the next step in life. So proud of both of them! ❤️ #ccesdukes #WeAreCuCPS
