Recently, two students from CPLA were accepted as members of the Kids Voting Arizona Leadership Council. They will work with 12 other students from across Arizona to encourage and promote voting throughout Arizona. Their first meeting was held in the Secretary of State, Adrian Fontes Office at the State Capital. They had a chance to meet and ask questions of Secretary Fontes.

The Kids Voting Arizona Leadership Council (KVLC) is comprised of motivated middle and high school students who work to ensure that youth voices are heard through meaningful, educational election experiences. The council is administered by the Arizona Bar Foundation as part of its Kids Voting Arizona program.

We are so proud of our Leaders.

What a sweet surprise in the garden! Our students discovered many babt watermelons growing in the garden, and they were so excited to try them.

The best part? We shared our delicious watermelon surprise with other students in the cafeteria and with our wonderful teachers.

Sharing the harvest made the experience even more special.

We recently held a fire drill with our team! It was a good chance to practice our evacuation routes, go over what to do in an emergency, and make sure everyone knows how to stay safe.

Thanks to everyone for participating and helping us keep safety a priority!

Our 5th graders stepped into the role of historians!

Through thoughtful questions and curiosity, students explored what historians do, how they uncover the past, and why asking the right questions is such an important part of the job. They practiced thinking like researchers—wondering, investigating, and using evidence to build a deeper understanding of history.

We love seeing our students’ curiosity turn into meaningful learning!
