Chillicothe Middle School is proud to recognize our March Terrific Students of the Month! 🎉

The focus for March is **Inquisitive** These students stand out by asking thoughtful questions, showing curiosity, and demonstrating a strong desire to learn. Their willingness to explore ideas and seek understanding helps create a positive and engaging learning environment at CMS.

Each student was first nominated by a teacher and then selected through a staff vote, making this recognition especially meaningful. We are proud of the way these students represent our school each day.

Great job, Hornets! Keep asking questions and chasing knowledge!

Reminder for CMS families: The Livingston County Health Department will host a free vaccine clinic on March 23 for our current 7th grade students. Missouri requires Tdap and meningococcal vaccines before entering 8th grade. Forms can be picked up in the front office or contact our awesome nurse, Mrs. Lebsack, who has also shared them by email.

Huge shoutout to Mr. Ford’s 1st period class for winning this week’s Fun Friday Trivia!

They knew that Alysa Liu made history in women’s figure skating and that Team USA defeated Canada in overtime to win gold in women’s hockey.

Way to represent!

Big night for our Scholar Bowl teams! Our 7th Grade team earned a strong win over Cameron and showed great focus from start to finish. Our 8th Grade team battled all the way to the final question, tying it up and forcing a “next score wins” overtime round before falling to the Dragons. What a competitive match and what heart they showed. Way to go, Hornets! 🖤❤️ #HornetsOnTop #CMSProud

Free sports physicals will be conducted at Chillicothe Middle School beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Any student planning to participate in Chillicothe sports, marching band, and/or Special Olympics must have a completed physical form on file. These physicals will cover three seasons: Spring 2026, Fall 2026, and Winter 2026–27. Forms are available in the CMS office.

Tomorrow is the last chance to turn in completed forms to the school nurse.

We strongly encourage all students to take advantage of this opportunity. Even if participation is uncertain right now, plans can change, and having a current physical on file keeps options open.

A special thank you to Mrs. Lebsack, our school nurse, and the team at Hedrick Medical Care for organizing this event. We appreciate their continued support of our students and the Chillicothe community.

The Better You Club had a full and fun day at CMS.

Thank you to Suzi Beck for helping students make and decorate Valentine cookies for everyone to enjoy. Sophie Chambers also led a lesson on digital music, where students used an online platform to create their own unique tunes. The group wrapped up by placing positive messages on lockers throughout the building.

Great job to everyone involved for spreading kindness and creativity around CMS. Special shoutout to Mrs. Donoho, the Club Sponsor.
