ECLIPSE - NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS
There will be NO school for PK-12 students on Monday, April 8, 2024, — the day of the highly anticipated Total Solar Eclipse. In lieu of attending school, the District highly encourages students to safely enjoy the Total Solar Eclipse as this is certain to be an extraordinary and memorable scientific event to observe.
7th Grade AHLI Service Project
The 7th grade AHLI service project is to raise money for Weekend Meals for Kids. To raise the money, AHLI members are selling wristbands to wear pajama pants the week of 3/18 - 3/22. Wristbands are $1 each and are only allowed to be used once. Students may purchase up to 5 wristbands, and they will be sold through Tuesday 3/19 during lunch in the cafeteria. If your child is interested, please send exact bills or change with your CMS student. Thanks for your support of this student designed and implemented service project.
CAREER CAFE
Career Cafe #3 was another success! A veterinary student came to speak with our students about what the field of veterinary medicine is like and her work with large animals. Students even got to learn how to harness a cow and tag livestock!
