Feb 17, 2026 was "King Cake Day" for our CMS 7th grade students. Students had a visit from some members of a local Mardi Gras Krewe first thing in the morning. Then students had activites to complete in class and, of course, ... everyone got to enjoy KING CAKE!
Thank you to our families who donated king cakes for this special day! The students really enjoyed it!
