Dear CMS friends and family,

It’s official: we are in the second-to-last-month of the school year. This is the time to lock in, focus, and end strong. As you’ll see in this edition of the newsletter, we have a lot going on this month.

Work hard, and make time for joy. You can do both!

Be well,

John / Mr. Scopelleti

With many thanks to our great StuCo members and advisors, we were able to raise $300 in three days for the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Congratulations and thank you to all who planned, helped out, and gave!

Every day, our dedicated school nutrition professionals go above and beyond to ensure our students are nourished and ready to succeed. May 1st is School Lunch Hero Day, a special opportunity to recognize our cafeteria staff and the vital role they play in supporting our students, their health, and their learning. Thank you!

One of our amazing sixth-graders is running a children's book drive from now until May 8 with drop-off bins available at CMS, Deer Hill, and Osgood. See this flyer for more information, and thanks for any support you can give to this great cause!
