🌟 Congratulations to Our Student - Roadrunners of the Month for September! 🌟 We are incredibly proud to recognize this month's standout students who demonstrated our CKH Leadworthy Character trait - Respect. Respect is the willingness and ability to act professionally and thoughtfully with ourselves and others. We can deal respectfully with opposition and provide space for both dignity and differences to coexist. Students celebrated this amazing recognition by being treated to an Ice Cream Sandwich Party. Keep up the great work Roadrunners!

🌱🐝💧 Our 4th grade Roadrunners have been busy learning beyond the classroom! Students visited the Botanical Gardens to explore the importance of plants and animals and their roles within food webs. They learned how plants provide energy and help support other living organisms throughout an ecosystem. 🌿🦋 Their learning continued with a presentation on water conservation and simple ways they can help save water in their everyday lives! We love seeing our Roadrunners make real-world connections to what they are learning in the classroom! ❤️💛 #CCISDproud #suCCessISD #WeAreSmith #RoadrunnerPride #BeepBeep
