Today we had our first positive behavior incentive field trip to Spilman Park where our kids learned a new sport for them- disc golf! Students earned this outing by having 80% or better attendance, passing grades, and no days of out of school suspension. #watchmerise









Today we took a field trip to CTEC! Our students had the chance to explore the many different classes offered to high school students and learned how they can lead to jobs once students graduate high school. We can't wait for the next field trip! Thanks @CTE4CCPS








Our bike club is growing by the week!



Mrs. Dawson's students are becoming professionals with the sewing machine! We can't wait to see what they come up with this year!



Check out this craftsmanship! New ceiling tiles are underway!



Today during Rise Time, students created their Identity Puzzle Piece. We do this project every year to help student become self- aware about the things, events, and aspects that represent their identity. In the end, students can see how their piece fits into our school as a whole








It's FriYAY in the Phoenix kitchen!
Learning to cook helps kids find out about nutrition and what it means to eat healthy. Kids who learn to cook also expand their understanding of math, learn to plan ahead, and explore their creativity. Plus, they learn a lifelong skill!





During RISE time this week, Phoenix students finished setting their SMART goals for the school year and moved into lessons on Self Awareness. #watchmerise





Congratulations to Tyjae Hoffman, CCHS, for recovering Algebra and earning a high school credit! #watchmerise


Their creativity never ceases to amaze us! #watchmerise


Phoenix 2023- 2024🧡


Happy FriYAY! Each week, students get to participate in an enrichment activity hosted by teachers. These activities are designed to foster creativity, encourage physical and mental well-being, or to teach students lifelong skills. Thanks to CMS for the gym and CCHS for the bikes!





Phoenix students range from grades 6 through 12, ages 11 up to 22, and come from 4 different CCPS schools. We have quite a mix! Our middle school group this year has been a ray of sunshine!




Today we began our social emotional learning period that we call Watch Me Rise. Students received instruction in the importance of SEL and how it will benefit them. They also began setting their SMART goals for the year! #AltEd



We sure do love it when our graduates come back for a visit!


We love that our students are earning positive referrals already! We are so proud of Emmanuel Yates, CCHS, for taking the initiative to help new students in Mrs. Dawson's class!


Our Art Fundamentals classes have begun with Color Theory! Students in Mrs. Dawson's classes created mandala art, a calming, meditative art form. Other students began acrylic paint pouring! We can't wait for their work to decorate our halls!





Today we said "see you soon" to one of our hardest working staff members, Miss Maggie, who will be relocating to be with family. She has taken such good care of our building- and all of us- and will be extremely missed!




We were so excited to welcome our full time students back to Phoenix today!






Phoenix staff enjoyed a fun day of team building with our community partners at Verdun today! We cannot wait to bring our first group of Groundwork's students this semester! #watchmerise
