CMS Junior Beta Club and the Easter Bunny had a busy week! This amazing team, led by the dynamic Zachery Valentine (President), the creative Emily Stephens (Vice-President), the organized Citlaly Hernandez-Ramirez (Secretary), and our financial wizard Amy Allende-Muthe (Treasurer), embarked on a heartwarming Easter journey that brought smiles, laughter, and a whole lot of Easter spirit to the young hearts at CES!
🎒 First stop: Our team, with baskets full of joy, visited the Pre-K and Kindergarten classes at CES to hand out Easter goodie bags! 🍬🎨 Each bag was packed with fun crafts, sweet treats, and loads of love, ensuring that every child felt the warmth of this festive season.
🐰 Surprise Visit to the Daycare: Next, we hopped over to the daycare for a surprise visit! The children's faces lit up with joy as they saw the Easter Bunny. It was a moment filled with genuine happiness, capturing the essence of giving and community spirit.
🥚 Easter Egg Hunt for 1st Grade: Our Beta members, alongside our dedicated officers, organized a fun-filled hunt that had all the little explorers buzzing with excitement. The laughter and cheers filled the air, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Through these activities, the CMS Junior Beta Club exemplified the core values of Achievement, Character, Leadership, and Service, bringing our mission to life by supporting the young learners and leaders of tomorrow.
A massive thank you to all our Beta members for their hard work, our school staff for their support, and, most importantly, the wonderful kids who remind us of the joy in simple pleasures. Here’s to more moments of joy and community spirit! 🌟💖

🌟 Exciting news from Mrs. Myers's 6th-grade science class! 🌙 Students embarked on an out-of-this-world journey exploring the mysteries of the cosmos with Ozobot robots and the Sun-Earth-Moon STEM model. They dove into the fascinating realm of moon phases, hemispheres, and how we experience seasons. They examined how Earth rotates on its axis, all while integrating computer science into their science content! 💻🔬 This hands-on approach not only enhances problem-solving skills and computational thinking 🧠💡 but also fosters a deeper understanding of complex scientific concepts! 🚀




REMINDER!

We just can’t say it enough, the Work-Based Learning Program at CHS is equally beneficial for the community and our students.
