Happy Earth Day! 🌎
Central Office staff members are ready to help strike out cancer tomorrow!
Come join us this Saturday, April 20th at CHS to support our annual Strike Out Cancer event! We are kicking the day off at 8:30am with a 5k color run followed by the CMS Little Trojan Track Invite and CHS softball & baseball games beginning at 10:00am. We will be grilling out/selling food & sno-cones most of the day as well. All proceeds this year will be going to the Beals Family to help a fellow Charleston CUSD#1 employee/parent/friend as she battles breast cancer. 🎗

This was the type of windy morning that could blow over a few trash dumpsters! Having departed Mark Twain Elementary School this morning, I encountered a parent along Taylor Avenue who parked her car and turned on her hazard lights in front of a big bag of trash that was blocking the street. She got out of her car and returned the bag to a nearby fallen dumpster. Had to give a "shout out" to parent Cory Sims! Taking time to do the little things in life can make a big difference -- perhaps preventing an accident! Thank you for being a good community member, Mrs. Sims!
As we prepare for dismissal this afternoon, we ask for your patience as buses may run late taking students home.
