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!
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, be sure to thank a teacher that has inspired you! "Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher."
Putting on band aids, stopping a bloody nose,
Handing out ice packs, providing a change of clothes.
Tirelessly helping others all day long,
Always there to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Our students & staff are safer because of you,
Thank you, School Nurses, for all that you do!

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!!!!
