🌟 A Big Thank You to Missouri Chief Justice Mary Russell! 🌟
Cape Central High was lucky to host Missouri Chief Justice Mary Russell as she visited the AP Government class.
Our students had a fantastic opportunity to learn from one of Missouri's top legal minds, and we're incredibly grateful for her time and expertise.
Students enjoyed dressing as a judge as they answered questions during her visit. Look at those smiles!
She also challenged them to think like a judge, presenting them with cases and allowing the class to weigh in on decisions. It's experiences like this that make our school community so special.
Every student, every day!

🎃👻 Halloween Safety Reminder! 🚸 ‼️CGPS families…this is important! As we gear up for a spooktacular Halloween, let's prioritize safety for our little goblins and witches during trick or treating! 🕸️🍬 🔦 Light It Up: Make sure your kids have flashlights, glow sticks, or reflective gear to stay visible in the dark. 🧙♂️ Costume Check: Ensure costumes are flame-resistant and fit comfortably. Masks should allow clear vision. 🍭 Inspect Candy: Before indulging, inspect your child's treats and discard anything unwrapped or suspicious. 🏠 Stick Together: Trick or treat in groups, and set a curfew for older kids to check in. 🚙 Road Rules: Use crosswalks, look both ways, and stay on the sidewalk. Drivers, please be extra cautious. 🏡 Trusted Stops: Only visit well-lit houses, and know your neighbors. Let's make Halloween magical AND safe for all our little pumpkins! 🎃👨👩👧👦 Share this post and spread the word! ⬇️More info in the infographic from Drop It and Drive! 👀 #WeareCT #SafeHalloween #FamilyFirst 🌟

🦃🌿 We had a fantastic lesson this week at the Early Childhood Center with a special presentation called "Talkin' Turkey" by the Missouri Conservation Department! 🌟
Our little ones, along with Dr. Benyon, had a blast learning all about turkeys. They even got to touch real turkey feathers and were captivated by an engaging turkey-themed storytime. 📚💬
Learning about nature and wildlife is not only educational but also incredibly fun, and we're grateful to the Missouri Conservation Department for this exciting experience! 🍂🦉
Every student, every day!
