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. This supports what we teach our students during Tiger Pride on Mondays. Congratulations, students. Keep up the good work! #RoarANDSoar

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

What is FLEX?
FLEX was created with one goal in mind – to spark an entrepreneurial spirit in students. Program developers knew that with the right mix of sacrifices and rewards, students would learn to launch successful small businesses of their own that would eventually lead to a more vibrant, robust economy for the local community.
Students compete in three rounds of competition with the final round including a “Shark Tank'' style presentation given before a final winner is announced. The rules of the competition are simple, and the prizes are big – up to $5,000 for the winning team – making this competition fun and competitive for all teams that enter.
The competition culminates in a Statewide competition where local winners compete for the FLEX State Champion title. Our community is proud to partner with FLEX to give our students the opportunity to build a better future for themselves, and our local economy! #TheDen

A little rain couldn't keep parents and fans away on Wednesday, September 27th, as the CMS Tigers celebrated their 8th grade athletes, cheerleaders, band members and a victory over Jenkins County. The win came through in all parts of the game as the offense, defense, and special teams battled all four quarters. The defense forced a turnover, allowing the Tiger offense to go to victory formation and take a knee. Tigers will finish the regular season at 3-3. We are proud of our 8th grade participants, and we look forward to more great things at CHS in the future!! #RoarANDSoar
