Firefighting students performed the skills of using a pike pole for pushing and pulling items like sheetrock on walls during the mop up phase of a fire. They also learned that in certain situations, they could use an axe to go through a wall to escape a hazardous area. Building construction parts and definitions were reviewed as they were revealed in the demolition. #TheDen #RealLife

Students in Mrs. Smith's 7th grade career classes have been studying manufacturing careers. Mrs. Michelle Holley visited them because she works for a company that makes food processing equipment - Quality Industrial Mechanical (QIM). Mrs. Holley showed the students drawings for drafting. She showed them what mechanical engineers and welders do. She also talked about how knowing how to type correctly, knowing how to operate a computer, knowing how to introduce yourself and give a proper handshake, and having good mathematical skills are important for her job. She explained to students that the math concepts they were learning in Mrs. Sapp’s class, like ratios, slopes, and measurements, were the same skills she used in her day-to-day work. Having Mrs. Holley speak to our students helped them make a connection between school and a career. Thank you, Mrs. Holley for spending time and teaching our students about a possible career choice.
Sugar, spice, and everything nice! Decorating cakes takes patience and an artistic touch. Our culinary students are baking cakes that look simply scrumptious. They even pulled in a little Spiderman action to create a lovely spiderweb cake. #TheDen #RealLife

CMS students who had good behavior, no missing assignments, and had missed no days during the month of September were rewarded with popcorn and a movie on Friday, September 29th for the monthly BAM celebration. Students watched "Remember the Titans," a powerful true story about overcoming adversity and coming together as a team, regardless of background and interests.
