Expanding Your Horizons Conference
Students dedicate a Saturday for an all day experience (6:30 a.m.- 8:30 p.m. includes bus ride) at the University of Wisconsin Madison, businesses, and the University Hospital.
Comments from students:
"I went to Biology and Life Science sessions. I liked it because I got to touch a real human brain. The brain was not the same color as it is in your head. It was white because they had to put stuff on it, so they could study it more. They also study animal brains because the want to know what they look like."
"I watched as lab assistants tested mice for diabetes. We got to help. I also got to the weather station and watch how they check the weather."
"I learned about leaf cutter ants. These ants can cut the leaves with their wings."Next year I want to attend the session on health and medical sciences."
8th Grade Field Trip - Barlow Planetarium
STEM Field Trip
On November 20th, Mr. Rose and and Mr. Taylor traveled to UW-Stevens Point with 19 seventh and eighth grade boys for the annual UWSP STEM Exploration Day for Boys. The day provided participants with a variety of experiences and possible career choices in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields. The event featured an excellent opening speaker, Dr. Eric Anderson, who spoke about his insights studying cougars in Wisconsin. Anderson discussed the various sightings of cougars, explained where they are coming from and why they are here.
Next, the students headed off to three different workshops of their choice. Each workshop was fun and interactive with hands on activities. Students built and tested model airplanes, roller coasters, skyscrapers and other engineering feats. They also investigated fields of medicine, computers, robotics, chemistry and biology. All together the students had two dozen workshops to pick from. Each of the participants had a great time.
UWSP's STEM day for girls will happen on February 26.

'Tis the Season for Giving!!! CMS Student Council gives back!!!
Student Council decided to give back this year and in a big way. The group decided they wanted to sponsor a former CMS Student Council member, Tarah Malotky, with funding to attend her once in a lifetime opportunity of The Standford Intensive Law & Trial Program. Student Council was able to donate $100 in November to help get Tarah registered for the incredible program.
The CMS group also sponsored a Food/Coat/Sock Drive the first week of November. Students donated several coats that will go to Clintonville Coats for Kids. There were also several food items & socks that were donated to Clintonville Area Food Pantry. Students were able to celebrate at the end of the week with the Fall Ball dance, where they were able to donate additional items for free admission!
That's not it! Student Council also sponsored not one, but two Christmas shoe boxes for children in need. The group filled a box for a boy & girl who are in need this Christmas with hygiene essentials, school supplies, a couple small toys, and a few special treats!!! Lastly, members decided to donate children's gifts to the Toys for Tots collection. The students all agreed it feels really good to give during this special time of year!!!
