The CMS Student Leaders are announcing their first event of the year: the Logo Contest! You will design a logo that you think represents CMS, and the winner will get to see their logo displayed on t-shirts and other items available for purchase. Also, the winner of the contest will receive a free t-shirt featuring their winning logo. Submissions should be fairly simple, as simple designs are easier to reproduce, and should include your name, grade level, and building on the back. There will be a box in the library to submit your design. Entries will be closed on September 26th. Time to get drawing!

Flag Football meets today and Thursday due to the cancellation on Monday. Each day is now open to 6/7/8 graders.
On Friday, September 23rd we will begin implementing 15 minutes of Sustained Silent Reading at the start of each Directed Study. Sustained Silent Reading provides time to read that is structured within the school day. Research indicates that children who read independently are more likely to perform better in all academic areas. Teachers will make exceptions for students on a case by case basis as issues arise.
