We are glad to "sea" you at CMUE!
A note from our principal...
Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,
Covid-19 has changed how we do business in many ways. I know it has affected many things for your family, as well. One of these changes is how we handle students at school when they are feeling ill. We need your support and help. If students show any of the symptoms of Covid-19, we will be calling you to pick them up. In the past, we may have let them rest or tried other remedies to see if things improved. We can no longer do that.
Please have a plan in place to ensure that your child can be picked up within 30 minutes if the school calls. This will help keep all of our students and staff members safe.
Thank you for your continued support! It’s a great day to be a Hornet.

Three Fun Facts About Fall
1. Fall is caused by the Earth’s tilt, not our distance from the sun.
When the northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun, we get warmer. When it tilts away, we get colder. Fall and spring are the times of transition.
2. Fall colors are caused by the amount of sugar in leaves.
The more red in the leaf, the more sugar that leaf is storing. That is why Maple trees are so vibrant. Evergreens don’t change because their leaves have a thick wax covering that protects the chlorophyl (green) in the leaves.
3. Americans typically refer to this time of year as “fall,” while the British use the word “autumn.”
Historically, Fall was called “harvest” because of the “harvest moon” that occurs close to the autumn equinox.
Tuesday, September 22 is the first day of fall!

September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.”
