Donations Needed:
Hello Cougar Families! Ever heard of the term hangry? Our kiddos here at CMMS are experiencing this. If you would be so kind to donate the following to our care closet: granola bars, cup of noodles, and fruit snacks, we would greatly appreciate it! Please bring your donations to Mrs. Berglund, Mrs. Peterman, or Mr. Thorn. Thank you!
