The fifth grade will have a Valentine's Day card exchange in the afternoon on Friday, February 12th. The students will need to decorate a box or bag at home to collect cards from their classmates. Homeroom teachers will send home a list of with number of students and first names so you can fill out the cards. We will not have a party, but you are welcome to send in individually wrapped treats if you like.
We will be collecting baby pictures (under 1 yr old) of 5th graders for the yearbook. You can email them to cmcsiyearbook@gmail.com or send them in for us to scan. Please send them in NO LATER than Friday, February 26!
A lot of students have returned to school at this midway point without school supplies. Please check with your child to see if they need more notebook paper or pencils. Teachers have a limited supply to share with students.
Please return the Child Speak Up, Be Safe permission slips as soon as possible. Mrs. Stewart will be starting these classes this month. Students who do not return permission slips will be sent to an additional study hall.
