Two New Clubs at CMS
We have two new clubs starting at CMS this winter. What is exciting is that both of these clubs were started by students. The students involved did a great job getting permission, outlining a plan, and following through to add more opportunities for students at CMS!
CMS Dance Team: Mon and Wed 2:10-3:10 in the cafe. Students can get together and share there love of dance! We have a parent volunteer and a staff advisory helping with skills acquisition and choreography. All are welcome. You can sign up outside of the guidance office.
As a reminder Intermural winter sports are starting soon. See Mr. Crawford with any questions.
