Relay for Life Update
Way to go CMS on the donations from the classroom collection boxes & caps for cure! We are sorry to say that we did not reach our $500 goal! But, we came very close by collecting $424.00. The class that collected the most money was Mrs. Taylor's class. They donated $96.00 and Miss Eaton's class coming in 2nd collecting $81.00!! Way to go!! Those students really wanted to watch Mrs. Taylor eat her worst fear, a banana & Mrs. Eaton cutting her beautiful hair for "Locks of Love"!

Thank you to the team "CMS Allstars" for participating in the Relay for Life 24 hour event Saturday. I am so proud of the "19" students ,Miss Adair, Mrs. Swarm, Mrs. Lent, and the "invinsible Miss Eaton! She beat her 16 mile record! We collected $350. selling student art work, face painting, and a surf lesson raffle. We had so much fun as we walked our laps in memory of our deceased love ones!
Other teams made several commits on what terrific students we had in the relay...we rock!

RELAY FOR LIFE: One in three people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime.
During the month of May we will be recognizing people who have survived cancer, lives lost to cancer, and raise money for the fight against cancer. We will be doing school fund-raising activities and will participate in a local Relay For Life event. Relay For Life is an American Cancer Society signature fun-filled event that mobilizes communities to fight back against cancer. CMS leadership is in charge of the organization. We are encouraging any students and teachers who have any connection with this disease and are interested in joining our Relay For Life team to come to a mandatory meeting on Wednesday May 6th during lunch in the art room. There we will begin planning our fundraising and Relay events. This is an amazing way to show how much our school cares and your personal effort will contribute to a great cause.
