Please join us in celebrating two incredible members of our CMS family!

Mrs. Adrienne Allen has been selected as our Middle School Teacher of the Year nominee.

Her ability to connect with students and families, promote kindness, and foster a positive school culture makes a lasting impact on everyone at CMS.

Mrs. Sue Hopper has been selected as our Beacon nominee. As one of our administrative assistant, Mrs. Hopper keeps our school running smoothly with her organization, patience, and care for students, staff, and families. Her positive attitude and dedication make CMS a welcoming place for all.

We are so proud of both Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Hopper for the incredible difference they make every day!
