A Message from Principal P
Dear CMS Families,
This week, our students had the opportunity to attend a sneak peek of the CMS musical James and the Giant Peach on Tuesday. We are incredibly proud of both the talented performers and the wonderful audience who supported them. If you’d like to see this fantastic production, the musical will be performed tonight at 7:00 PM and again on Saturday at 2:00 PM at CMS.
Additionally, on Tuesday, our students wrote heartfelt letters of gratitude to teachers, coaches, and support staff. Their kind words brought smiles to many faces around the school.
Enjoy the long weekend and thank you to our Veterans for their sacrifice, bravery and service!
Better Together,
Ms. P

At CMS We Celebrate Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
What started at the turn of the century as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the U.S., has resulted in a whole month being designated for that purpose. The theme for 2024 Native American Heritage Month is "Affirming Native Voices: Visibility, Leadership, and Service," focusing on the importance of elevating Indigenous voices, leadership, and contributions to society.
Key points about the theme:
Emphasis on Indigenous perspectives:
The theme aims to highlight the unique viewpoints and experiences of Native Americans and Alaska Natives.
Celebrating leadership and service:
It recognizes the significant roles Native people play in leadership positions and community service.
Promoting visibility:
The theme encourages greater recognition and understanding of Native cultures and issues.
