Everyone Has A Gift
One of the benefits of getting older is realizing that we all have something unique to offer. It is especially true when it comes to getting involved with your school. We each have our own part to play. Be sure to visit our Profiles in Alumni Giving to read about CPS alum who have gone above and beyond.

Could You...

• Volunteer your time or expertise?
  Schools need all kinds of help. From judges at science fairs, to weekly tutors. From speakers at career days, to partnering your business with a school. Visit your school's Get Involved section to learn more.

• Make a donation?
  Every school has a Wish List of donations and items that would benefit their faculty and students. It's a great way to make a contribution you know will make a difference. Visit your school's Get Involved section to learn more. Or, if you would like to make a donation now, click the button.

• Attend a school event or activity?
  Sometimes you can make a difference just by showing up. Upcoming events for your school would be listed in the Get Involved section.

What if my school no longer exists?
But it does exist. As long as there are living alumni, your school has a community. You could still have reunions and some classes of schools that have closed do that. Maybe your school building still exists and it just has another name. In that case look at the Get Involved section under the new name and you will find opportunities to help your old school.

In a few instances neither your school building nor your school's name is still active. In those cases you could still have a reunion. Or you could memorialize your school with a scholarship fund that could assist someone in the school's neighborhood. You and/or your classmates could fund a science laboratory or start a band in a school in the old neighborhood; either could carry the old school's name. Look at the Get Involved section of your old school and if you do not find something that you like, email us with your suggestions.
