Charleston Middle & High School will be phasing out the old gray PE shirts beginning next school year. If you already have a gray one, you won't be required to purchase the new black shirt with updated design unless you want to, but we would like all incoming/new students to get the new one. Pre-ordered shirts will be available for pick up at the start of the school year. Please send any questions to cusd1_cte@charleston.k12.il.us
These can be ordered at: https://chs-industries-104518.square.site/shop/trojan-design/6

Mrs. Spanhook's 5th grade class at Jefferson Elementary School had a very special visitor yesterday: Wanda Ruyle, a former teacher at the original Jefferson Elementary School building. Wanda is quickly approaching her 103rd Birthday, and one of her wishes was to get back in the classroom. The students were thrilled to meet her, and they all got to ask her lots of questions. She was equally excited to get to share some of her wisdom with them and answer their questions. Happiest of Birthdays to you, Mrs. Ruyle! Thank you for your love and dedication to education!

Our CMS Special Olympians were informed this morning that Special Olympics wasn't going to happen due to weather. So, their peers packed the gym and cheered them on as they competed in the softball throw and the 50 yd dash. We are so proud of our CMS student body and our Special Olympians. They all did a great job today!!!!
