CMS students are setting personal goals to increase literacy through participation in the 40 Book Challenge, which now, in its second year, has taken on the mantra READING ROCKS!
This has been a busy and productive nine weeks for the CMS HAWKS!
Our Explore to Soar after school program is serving students before and after school. This is a free opportunity for all CMS students.
Many CMS students are already enrolled, but we hope to see more students participate in this great opportunity to receive an after school snack, homework help, physical activity, and engagement in an enrichment program of their choice.
Our staff is offering everything from cooking, scrapbooking, gaming, soccer, hacky sack, service clubs, and many more fun enrichment activities each day.
CMS athletics and clubs have been working hard and doing great things.
Our Volleyball Lady Hawks finished third in the District Tournament following a stellar season.
And our Football Hawks will compete for and host the District Championship on Thursday at 7:00.
