For boys interested in trying out for the CMS Boys' Basketball Team in the fall, there are summer open gyms starting next week! Incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th grade boys can come and get a jumpstart on understanding what it takes to make the team. This is a great opportunity to learn, grow, and prepare for fall tryouts!

Mr. Kanouse made a promise that if 50 CMS students showed growth in their MAP scores in either reading or math, he would color his hair pink. For every student that showed growth, he would also donate a dollar to a family going through cancer treatment. 286 students (77%!!!) showed growth and $286 was donated. True to his word, he's rocking a new hair color too. 💕

Mrs. Cline had Mrs. Beabout's Algebra class busy today. The students were challenged to build and were only able to use index cards. The cards could not be bent or torn in any way, and students were not allowed to communicate verbally, by drawing, or by writing. I think they nailed it! #CMSCUSD1
