Last week 50 CMES scholars had their first performance as part of the Chicago Children’s Choir program. This CCC program was in honor of Black History Month and took place on the stage of Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center (pictured below). Great work by CMES scholars and their staff leaders!

The CM National Honor Society volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House last week to prepare a meal for the families staying there.  The NHS sold candy grams for Valentine’s Day to raise the money to feed 20 people- pictured below are NHS members and staff leaders:

National Honor Society also collects unused food from the Friday bagged lunches, and instead of the food going in the trash, they take it to PADS shelter each Friday (pictured below).

 

TREMENDOUS leadership and embodiment of the Catalyst mission by NHS scholars and staff leaders!

Please join the Catalyst school communities as they celebrate Black History Month on February 22, 2018 with the Black History Bowl at Catalyst Circle Rock and the Black History Assembly- Catalyst Maria HS!
