News & Notes - CMS Daily Bulletin 

While we know the importance of equitable access to technology, we also know that kids need time to decompress and unplug.  Therefore, we have chosen to shut down access to student chromebooks after 9:00 p.m. daily (including weekends).

All students and faculty are invited out front on Wednesday, September 26 at 7:30 a.m. for See You At the Pole.  See You at the Pole is an annual gathering of thousands of Christian students at a flagpole in front of their local schools for prayer, scripture-reading and worship, during the early morning before school starts.

FCA athletes! FCA Adult Chapter needs your help selling ribs to provide scholarships for FCA Leadership camp! See your huddle coach for order forms and information! More info to come at this week's huddle!  Perfect timing for tailgating at the Oct. 5 CHS home football game!  (See attached order form.)
