🌟 CMS Terrific Students of the Month – November 🌟

We’re excited to celebrate our CMS Terrific Students of the Month! The focus for November is Respectful.

These students have consistently shown what it means to treat others with kindness, listen with understanding, and make choices that build a positive school environment. Whether it’s in the classroom, hallways, or activities, they demonstrate respect for peers, staff, and themselves every day. We’re proud of their example and the positive impact they make at CMS! 👏❤️🖤

This past weekend, CMS Choir students participated in District Choir, and they had an amazing experience. Our 6th–8th grade choir members spent the day working with guest clinicians who helped them refine their sound, learn new musical skills, and experience what it’s like to sing as part of a large ensemble.

After a full day of rehearsals, students capped it off with a performance that showcased all their hard work and filled the auditorium with great music. We’re proud of their dedication and the way they represented CMS!
