Help Tweet

One of the strategies of the CPS Back to School campaign is use social media to create a buzz. We are assembling a roster of notable CPS alumni, celebrities and sports figures who will agree to send out one or more of the messages below on their own Facebook page or Twitter account sometime over Labor Day Weekend. Our preference would be to have it blasted on Sunday, September 6. It is a very basic message supporting the importance of going back to school.

Would you consider helping us start the school year right us by sending this out Labor Day Weekend? Please let me know if you’ll join our campaign by sending me a message. @cpsbacktoschool or bjharbaugh@cps.k12.il.us

Thanks in advance,
