Dear CMS Families
Week #1 is in the books and life is good here at Camillus Middle School! Our buses are running on time, athletic and musical practices are at full tilt and schedule changes are complete.
This week we also welcomed Merry-Go-Round Playhouse into all of our English classes. Our students took part in what is known as Echoes, the largest middle school writing competition in the United States. The classroom writing workshop was facilitated by actors from this program. Our students will submit original material over the next several weeks to Echoes’ actors and writers. In March, the actors will return to us with a musical performance where the submitted poems, songs, stories and skits are weaved into the production. Thank you to the Fine Arts Department for arranging this program for CMS!
On Monday we will put the Curriculum Night (Sept. 20) flyer and schedule in the mail to you. Make sure to bring it with you that evening. We invite you to stop by our library during your visit as well. It was beautifully renovated during last year’s capital improvement project, and it is just the hub of our school. We will have refreshments available there! Our Scholastic Book Fair will also be open. We appreciate any purchase you can make since this benefits our PTO. You can also join the PTO that evening if you haven’t already.
