How Spring Got Its Name 🌸 🌱 🐣

🌱 The spring season gets its name from the verb "spring." It's a nod to the flowers and plants springing up, springing open, and bursting into blossom.
🐣 The word itself comes from the Old English word "springan," which means "to leap, burst forth, fly up; spread, grow."
🌸 During the 14th century, the word came to describe the spring season, the time when plants wake from their winter sleep and bloom.
🌅 Before that, the word "Lent" was used to describe the season: "In the past it was the main word for ‘spring.' Lent surfaced as ‘lencten,' that is, ‘lengten': the season got its name because in spring days lengthen." (full article here)

“Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like?"... "It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine...” ― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden 🔗

🏁Perserverance is the character trait for APRIL

Our Goal here at CPS is to finish STRONG. We discuss perserverance because we acknowledge that achieving success at this time of year is difficult. It is getting nice outside and students have a hard time focusing. We want students to know we are here for them and we are hoping that they finish the year STRONG. We are better together!
