CMS 8th grade students and parents: our 8th grade science classes will be making models to demonstrate Plate Motion after fall break use by edible items. We need your help gathering those items so that all 8th grades can learn while using their hands! Items are due October 17. Items may be dropped off in the CMS front office, simply let the office staff know who the 8th grade science teacher is! Thank you for helping to make learning fun and engaging here at Cope! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0545AFA82CA3F8C70-59194029-exploring

October brings cooler weather and the excitement of fall activities. This month,
the CMS counselors will be focusing on the importance of building empathy and understanding
within our school community. As we celebrate the season, let’s also take time to appreciate the diverse perspectives and experiences!

CMS 6th grade parents and students: We've almost survived Camp Green Lake in our first class novel, Holes, for 6th grade! This Thursday, Oct. 2 we have a fun filled themed snack fest Cougar Party in honor of our novel for students. Any donations would be greatly appreciated to celebrate surviving the 1st 9 weeks in 6th grade.

Sixth grade students can wear ORANGE shirts with uniform bottoms Thursday, October 2nd.

We would also love parent volunteers to help decorate Wednesday afternoon and parent volunteers to serve snacks to classes throughout the day on Thursday. Please help us dig up some reading treasures before we head to fall break!

Donations can be mailed directly to the school as long as they will be delivered by Tuesday, can be dropped off in the office for 6th grade, or can be brought to school by students. Again, all donations must be made by Tuesday in order to prepare for this wild adventure!
