📢 On Thursday, our 7th grade C, B, and A teams all played Schuyler Middle School. Our C team could only play one half, but they still played amazing and just fell short of a victory. Our A/B team played great, getting a lead of 18 points by halftime. We are so proud they brought home a victory for CMS! We are proud of you, girls, and keep playing amazing! 🏀

🦃✨ Happy Thanksgiving from our 6th Grade Engineers! ✨🦃
This week, our students put their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test by using the Engineering & Design Process to disguise their turkeys. From superheroes to pop stars to everyday objects, these turkeys were determined to stay off the Thanksgiving table! 😄🎨
We loved seeing their brainstorming, planning, building, and improving in action—and the results were absolutely hilarious and so impressive!
Wishing all our families a warm, safe, and joyful Thanksgiving! 🧡🍁
