This year the CMS Counseling Program is hosting quarterly parent nights. We have coined our parent nights as NEST Nights (Nurturing & Empowering Students Together). Our first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 28th at 6 p.m. We are having Pure Freedom, a Kirksville organization, come in to present to parents. The presentation will provide a framework for discussing technology, relationships, and increasing connections between parents and students. This is an opportunity that is open to all families who have 6th graders on up to Seniors. We will have childcare provided by qualified CHS students.

Landry Marsh is this weeks ACE winner. She is a leader on the field. Landry is always encouraging her teammates, and willing to take on any role given! #HornetsOnTop

CMS Football Parents,
Starting tomorrow, students will need to be picked up at Jerry Litton Stadium following all home football games. Students will still need to be at the CMS Fieldhouse between 3:45-4:00 to dress and stretch, they will then be dropped off at the field by bus. Also, due to this change, there will not be a sign out sheet for home games. Parents and students need to make arrangements to have their student and all belongings picked up following the games at the football field. If you have any questions or concerns, please call or email Mr. Joel Hultman at 646-1916 or jhultman@chillicotheschools.org.
Thank you,
CMS Athletic Department
It’s HOMECOMING WEEK! Have some fun and enjoy the week!

Twenty one years ago, brave men and women gave their lives to try to save others. On this day, we remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and we recognize the local first responders who make that commitment for us each day.
Thank you to all the First Responders in the city of Chillicothe and Livingston County. Without you we would not know true safety.
Please take the time to remember the events of 9/11 by doing something kind for another person today. In the words of Dr. King Jr:
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
