With the end of the year fast approaching, the CMS food pantry is starting to look sparse. We are asking for donations of shelf-stable snacks to help get our students through the rest of the year. Donations can be dropped off at the CMS office!

CMS students showed exceptional effort on the IAR state tests all week! We all celebrated the end of the testing week with a dance. CMS has a dance next Friday, April 12 from 6-8!




CMS students worked hard during IAR this week. They celebrated their week with a dance at the end of the day. Students earned a ticket to the dance for their hard work, and good behavior. Each student's ticket made them eligible for a $25 Walmart gift card. The winners of these gift cards were:
Aubrey Stewart - 7 Red
Sidney Furry - 8 Gold
Jaylee Livingston - 8 Red
Jordan Jackson - 8 Gold
Way to go CMS!

The CMS Trojan Depot is in need of items as the weather is becoming nicer. If you have the means, please take a look at our Wishlist. As always, we thank the Charleston community for its continued support of our students here at CMS.


CMS started spring break a little early with a day of trivia, a school-wide rock, paper, scissors tournament, a pie in a teacher's face, and some team games! Have a safe break everyone!
