Spirit Week at CMS!

Our favorite week of the year is right around the corner! Sprit Week will run from March 14-18 and will culminate in a St. Patrick’s Day Dance and Open Gym for all grades on March 18 from 6:00-8:00 pm. Tickets are $5 at the door. All proceeds benefit the CMS PTO, which in turn supports valuable programs here at school. Our Student Council has voted on the daily Spirit Week themes…and the winners are:

Monday (3/14) – Pajama Day

Tuesday (3/15) – Crazy Clothes and Hair Day

Wednesday (3/16) – Beach Day

Thursday (3/17) – Twin Day

Friday (3/18)-Sports Day

Prizes will be awarded for students who best exemplify the spirit of the day! Please remember that all outfits should be school appropriate.

Our first ever 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament for grades 7 and 8 will take place on March 11 from 2:15-4:30 pm. Advance registration is required and will close on Thursday, March 10. Students may sign up in either 3 or 4 person teams which can be co-ed or mixed grade if they choose. Registration is $5 per child. Registration forms are in the main office and cafeteria. Daily announcements have been made regarding the process. Watch out NCAA and ACC…our teams are ready! All proceeds benefit the CMS PTO.

CMS PTO

It is not too late to become a PTO member or to make a contribution to our No ShowFundraiser. Simply print the forms and send them to the main office with your child. We appreciate your support as the PTO provides many valuable experiences for our students. Our Spirit Wear sale, Scholastic Book Fair and Battle of the Books competition are just a few of the many programs made possible by the PTO. Our final meeting of the year will take place on April 18 at 6:00 pm in the LGI at West Genesee High School.
