Cozy Up for a Cause: Battle of the Body Wash! 

We challenge our friends at Mattoon Middle School to a friendly body wash showdown! 

Who can collect the most bottles and make the biggest difference for local families? 

Let's fill our donation bins, show our generous hearts, and prove that giving back is something our school does best! 

Soap up. Show up. Give back! 

Student Leadership Council will be selling Ghost Grams during lunch's the week of October 26th-29th, $ 1.00 each, While supplies last. They will be given out on the 3oth of October during WIN. 

Our CMS Motto is “Lead with courage and inspire with kindness.”  

Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind inspires us to imagine our future-tomorrow and five years from now. 

For today’s motto moment, let’s ask ourselves, “What type of people do we want to become? What do we want to be doing?” 

Have a Thrilling Thursday!
