When Community Brings Us Back 💙🦅
Our Principal, Mr. Lee, invited some of our amazing parents to join our Closing Circle with our entire CICS Bucktown staff! 💙
Mr. Lee asked a beautiful question: “What brings you back to CICS Bucktown?”
Some of our parents are even alumni parents, and their answer says so much about what makes our school special:
“What I love most about CICS Bucktown is the community. You feel like you’re part of a family! It’s the teachers, paraprofessionals, front desk staff, lunchroom staff, and everyone who brings us together as a community.” ❤️
This is what makes CICS Bucktown more than a school—it’s a family. Once you’re part of our community, you’re always part of our family! 🦅💙
