CHMS Weekly Update
March 10th - 14th, 2025
March is Reading Month!
Reading Month is in full swing, and our Harry Potter theme has been a huge hit! We have some dress up days (listed below) and some other fun activities planned to help keep students excited!
We have put together a survey for students to fill out throughout the month to tell us what books they would like to see in our library. We have a team that is going to work on compiling a list to send out so parents/community members can have an idea on what books our students wish to see in our library!
If you would like to help support this endeavor, please consider donating a book to our school library, to provide great reading resources for years to come. You can drop off a new or gently used book to the school, and we will put a sticker in the book with your name on it as the generous supporter of students reading great books.
If you prefer, you could send in money to be used by the school for the purchase of books for the library. We will still acknowledge your generosity and support with a donation sticker. Thank you in advance for your support!

8th Grade Tour of Career Center
Our 8th graders have been invited to tour the Career Center at the Mecosta-Osceola Intermediate School District, also known as MOCC, on Tuesday, March 11th, 2025. This tour allows students to see what types of classes are available at the Career Center once they are in High School.
Tuesday, March 11th Bell Schedule
Our schedule for the day will be slightly altered with WIN Time and Lunches being swapped. This will allow our 8th graders to eat lunch before they leave for the Career Center.
Bed Bug Update
There seems to be some misunderstanding about our Bed Bug issue from last week. To clarify, there was one bed bug found in one classroom. We followed protocol and contacted the company who comes in to deal with this kind of concern. The company came in, did an assessment of the situation, and handled the situation as they saw fit as they are the experts. We are obligated to send the pesticide notification letter home to all families, so that is what we did. No other bed bugs were found by the company, and we have not found any other bed bugs since finding the one. We also do not know the source of the one bed bug.
Some resources are linked below to better understand bed bugs and how to handle them if they are in your home. I have also linked our Board Policy on Lice, Nits, and Bed Bugs for your reference.
Please reach out if you have any specific questions or concerns.

Second Step
What are we learning this week?
No Second Step lesson this week!
We have a few other tasks to complete during Wellness Wednesday time this week. We will pick back up with our Second Step lessons next week.
SEL Day - Gratitude!
Last week, we celebrated SEL (Social Emotional Learning) Day with a lesson on Gratitude! Our amazing school counselor, Mrs. Compson, created a Wall of Gratitude in the hallway, filled with heartfelt notes from students sharing what they’re grateful for. Taking time to appreciate the good in our lives helps build a positive mindset, strengthen connections, and support overall well-being. It was awesome watching our students stop at the wall and read what others are grateful for!

Please see the attached flyer with information about an opportunity for 5th and 6th grade girls to play volleyball. More detailed information coming soon!
