Giving Back at CMS
The most effective way for students to learn about and develop civic responsibility, empathy, and service to others is through service learning.
7th grade students in Mrs. Bremer's CAPS (Clinton Accelerated Program for Students) class began their year-long service learning project this week by visiting residents of Bristol Manor. See more pictures here.
For decades, the Clinton Technical School's Building Trades program has been building homes in our community. Students and their instructor, David Vaughn, take pride in their work and it shows in the quality of the homes they build.
The district is ready to begin taking bids on their newest project, located at 1703 East H&W Drive. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, is approximately 1,630 square feet. This home is located in a quiet neighborhood (behind Walmart) and is ADA compliant (no stairs!).

Developing Researchers at CHS
In Mrs. Jaynes Advanced Placement (AP) Psychology class, students are currently studying research methods and the importance of being able to replicate a study to show its validity.
To supplement this current unit of study, students worked in groups to create lego structures. They also had to create step by step instructions that were used by other groups, to determine if the same structure could be replicated.
This activity helped students understand how research must throughly be thought out, tested and then replicated before its validity is accepted.

Remembering and Honoring our Heros
On September 11th, students and teachers across the district took part in age-appropriate discussions and activities regarding the history of 9/11 and Patriot's Day.
Students in Mrs. Potter's and Mrs.Lehman's kindergarten classes took time to make flags as a way to remember those that keep us safe each and every day.
Mrs. Potter's students also got to thank a real-life hero when Mr. Morales stopped by to visit with students about his job as a firefighter. See more pictures here.
