Mrs. Bauer's 6th grade FACS students with the felt monsters that they designed and hand sewed! Amazing project!
Good Luck Lady Bengals!
Today's Bengal Spotlight Featured PAWS is Mr. Kelly's PAWS. Early risers. Morning people. Wide awake. These are all improper descriptions of PAWS students in Mr. Kelly’s class. Instead, the students are often reading emails, watching a brief SEL video, checking grades, and even some last-minute schoolwork. We’re not the high energy, Red Bull drinking, PAWS challenge fanatics of CCCMS. However, if you’re looking for a quiet place to gather your thoughts with peaceful music and wafts of fresh brewed coffee, this is the place to be each morning.
Congratulations to the Bengal students who participated in today's Spelling Bee! Everyone did amazing and the Spelling Bee lasted 20 rounds! William Lira out-spelled all other Bengal spellers! Way to go William! The top 9 will be representing CCCMS at the District Spelling Bee.
Good Luck on the road today Bengals! #bengalstrong
