7th grade Engineering is officially underway, and our students just wrapped up the Tallest Spaghetti Tower Challenge!
Using only 20 pieces of dry spaghetti and 1 meter of tape, teams had to design a tower tall enough to compete - and strong enough to hold up a classroom item (all the same mass). Along the way, they learned a lot about criteria and constraints, the importance of teamwork, and that everyone’s ideas have value.
Next up, they’ll be exploring real-world tower design and engineering, including structures like the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and One World Trade Center in New York City.
And of course… congratulations to the 7th grade hour winners pictured - because let’s be honest, everything is a competition in middle school!
Also, fair warning: this is harder than you might think… that’s why it’s called a challenge!

Yesterday was Tasting Tuesday in the Chillicothe R-II School District! Students at CES, CMS, and CHS enjoyed fresh-grown lettuce and micro-greens from our local producer, Table Top Farms.
A big shoutout to our 5th graders and CHS Hornet Academy students for helping rinse and cut the lettuce for today’s tasting - students gave it a big thumbs up!
This project is funded through a Local Foods for Schools Grant through the Department of Education. Tasting Tuesdays will happen the first Tuesday of every month as we work to bring healthy, nutritious foods to our lunchrooms and help students learn where our food comes from.

👯♀️❤️🖤 **TWIN DAY FUN AT CMS!** ❤️🖤👯♂️
Tuesday’s Homecoming Spirit Week brought **Twin Day** to CMS, and our students and staff definitely understood the assignment! From matching outfits to hairstyles we loved seeing everyone team up with their “twin” and show off their Hornet spirit!
Homecoming Week is always more fun when our students and staff get involved and make memories together. ❤️🖤
**Great job, CMS! Keep that Homecoming spirit going!**
