🍓 Live music & entertainment
🍓 Arts & Crafts
🍓 Strawberry treats and desserts
🍓 Activity booths

🌳✏️All alumni are invited to our special Alumni Open House on December 18th! If your alum is home for the holidays and free that evening, we would be thrilled to welcome them back to our newly restored Upper School.

This event is designed exclusively for alumni, as a chance for former students to reconnect with classmates, say hello to favorite teachers, and see firsthand how their school has grown.

Our Upper School now completes our vision of a connected city-block campus, bookending Old North Durham Park with our beloved Lower School on Foster Street and our beautifully revitalized 96-year-old Upper School across the park or big field. We can’t wait to share this milestone with the young people who helped shape CPSC into the school it is today.

At the Alumni Open House, former students will:
🌳Tour the new Upper School and see learner-centered classrooms alive with project work
🌳Experience the exciting future of our child-centered, project-based learning campus
🌳Reconnect with fellow alumni and teachers
🌳Enjoy light hors d’oeuvres and an informal celebration together

From collaborating on project shares, to sparking curiosity on walking field trip adventures, to celebrating our community at the Strawberry Festival, your alumni’s time at CPSC is a vital part of our history. Now, we want to invite them to return and see how the school has grown!

We can’t wait to welcome Alumni back into the one-of-a-kind community that they helped build. * Please RSVP by December 12th here: https://evite.me/brCAgrwPFN *

Looking forward to seeing alumni at our new Upper School!
