From the bottom of our Chicago-proud hearts, thank you @MichelleObama @BarackObama for joining our CPS Civic Life Town Hall. 500 @ChiPubSchools Ss & Tchrs felt valued and left inspired and motivated to #StayEngagedCPS in civic life!
If we want an equitable future, we have to engage in civic life today. Last week, @MichelleObama and @BarackObama surprised some high school students during a @CPSCivicLife virtual town hall and discussed the importance of staying engaged in our democracy during this crisis.
