Perseverance: steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.

Consider watching this video with you child and asking them what is one thing that they are struggling in, and how they can overcome it.

Season’s greetings from our CSP family! With the holiday season quickly approaching, we are reaching out to our community with a humble request. We currently have a few families whose children attend CSP that are experiencing financial and personal difficult times this school year.

This Holiday season, we want to help our families who are in need by providing them with much needed cheer. We need your help to fill our CSP Pantry which will continue to give to our families not only during the holidays, but throughout the school year. As you prepare for the upcoming holidays to make it extra special for your family, we ask that you also consider picking up some extra items to share with your CSP families who are struggling. We are collecting personal and food items for our families so that we can help them during a very trying time. (Please see a list below of suggestions).

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mona Gomaa, Equity Liaison at mgomaa@mycsp.org or (443) 757-5277.
