On Thursday, December 15, 2022, Claxton Middle School hosted a Character Night at the CMS boys' and girls' basketball games. Each teacher chose one student who exemplifies hard work and a positive attitude, regardless of the task at hand. The students were invited to a party during the day where they played games and had hot chocolate and snacks, and then they were presented a certificate during half-time of the boys' game that evening. We are very proud of these students and the great character that they show at school everyday!

Mrs. Yurek's eighth-grade students worked in groups to perform a "Character Autopsy" of characters from the novel, A Long Walk to Water. Students made character evaluations based on their different abilities as they related to certain parts of the body. For example, for the "brain," one student reflected on the difficulty the character experienced due to his worrying thoughts about his family. #activelearning #creativity
