Spirit Week Returns at CMS – March 23rd-27th
Our favorite week of the year is finally here! CMS Spirit
Week is sponsored by our Student Council who determine our theme and prizes.
This year students will have an opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for 50
cents each during all lunch periods. On Thursday, March 26th, one
lucky ticket will be drawn and the winner will get to be Principal For The Day!
All money collected will be donated to a local charity. Teachers will also be
nominating students who they think best exemplify the theme of each day. Those
students can win either an iTunes or Destiny gift card. Don’t miss out on the
fun! Our theme for each day will be:
Monday
– Twin Day
Tuesday
– Character Day
Wednesday
– Pajama Day
Thursday
– Sports Day
Friday
– Blue and Gold Day
Our annual spring Scholastic Book Fair will take place on
March 24-26
th. Students will attend during their English class and
be able to revisit during their lunch period. We have many high-interest, young adult titles, including
Insurgent,
Diary of a Wimpy Kid, old classics like
The Guinness
Book of World Records. The books are very reasonably priced with no book
marked more than $14.00. This is a great opportunity to buy a book to help your
child make progress on our 10 Book Challenge. Research suggests that children
should read 20 books as a minimum each school year.

Olweus Class Meeting
Tomorrow, March 20
th, will be a 10:10 a.m. release
day for all middle level students so that teachers may engage in professional
development. We will use our time that we have students to have our Olweus
class meetings to focus on the topic of humanity and community. Thank you to
everyone who has donated toiletry items for us to donate to the Samaritan
Center. Students will watch a short clip about the center that you can view
here. Our class
meetings are planned by our teachers with a focus on helping students see the
world through another’s eyes and to help build a compassionate and kind
character. Please help us to extend this conversation at home by asking your
child about the class meeting.
We celebrate learning!
