Due to illness among students and staff, we have decided to postpone tonight’s winter dance. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we want to be proactive in helping stop the spread of yuckiness. We will work to get a new date on the calendar once things calm down. Thank you for your understanding.

Winter Dance; Cancelled
In Ms. Batye’s classroom this week, students put their learning into action. After studying different resources, they became engineers and designed their own windmills; each one built to wind up cups holding added weight. Hands-on learning, problem solving, and creativity all in one lesson. Nice job Ms. Batye and all her students! 💨

This time of year, it’s important to take care of yourself. Cold weather, being indoors more, and germs spreading can wear you down. Stay hydrated, get plenty of sleep, and remember to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer.

If you miss school but are feeling okay, do your best to keep up with assignments. When you return, communicate with your teachers and get caught up as soon as possible.

We truly have the best counselors any school could ask for. Thank you, Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Donoho, for always going all out for our students, staff, and school. You are constantly finding ways to support, help, and lift others up. We appreciate you more than you know and wish you all the good things this week and every day.

Counselors!
From pancakes to concrete 🥞➡️🧱 Students kicked off by making pancakes to learn one key lesson: mixing matters. Too much liquid or too little changes everything. Once they saw that, we connected it to concrete mixing and why the right ratios are critical. A fun, hands-on way to learn real-world concepts like consistency, workability, and following directions. Great lesson by Mrs. Kreatz! 🔥🔥🔥 #HornetsOnTop #CMSProud 🖤❤️

The BEST!
Tamira Marriott and Candice Stigall worked with students in Better You Club to build communication skills through the Coffee Bean Club program. This lesson focused on helping adolescents using their voice in positive ways; through self-talk, conflict resolution, and speaking up for themselves. To wrap up the session, students shared positive statements about themselves in front of their peers and did a great job stepping outside their comfort zones. #CMSProud #HornetsOnTop ❤️🖤

Better You Club had a great visit yesterday with guest Suzi Beck. Students explored different ways to make popcorn, including air popping and microwave popping. They also made their own lip balm, just in time for winter and chapped lips. A fun, hands-on day focused on learning and self-care. 🖤❤️

Special Olympics State Bowling took place this weekend in Kansas City. Three of our CMS students competed and represented us well. Nevaeh Clark earned 1st place, Deatrik Dady placed 3rd, and Ryleigh Souders finished 4th!

State Bowling is held every spring and athletes must qualify through area or regional competitions. We were proud to host those qualifying events earlier this year in Chillicothe.

Congratulations to our athletes on a great showing. ❤️🖤

We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of the BTC Bank Area Youth Benefit Corp. Their employees contribute to a year-round fund dedicated to supporting local youth, and this year they chose to give back to students who receive weekly food support through the CMS CARES Closet. This tremendous gift will make a meaningful difference for our students and families. Thank you for investing in our kids and our community!
