It was the most perfect day yesterday to have 284 of the 331 8th grade students attend school for the Promotion Day Celebration.  The joy and excitement was evident throughout the day with each activity.  Students and staff captured moments from the day which are featured in the Promotion Video linked below.  While this year had challenges, this group of kids rose to each challenge and made the most of it.  I have to say, the bonds and connections teachers and staff made with this class will be remembered for many years to come.  Thank you for sharing in your child’s education this year and we wish each one of them the best of luck as they enter their high school years.  Enjoy your summer!

As a reminder, students will be emailed a personalized digital Promotion Certificate to their school email that can be shared or printed off.  These will be coming over the next couple of days.

Sincerely,

Carie Walter, CMS Principal
