STUCO donated an egg incubator to Mrs. Trost’s 1st grade class for her duck eggs! Rumor is in about 28 days CMS might get to see some baby ducks! Way to go STUCO!
As we finish the last five in-person days of the school year, we reflect on the fun we've had and how much CMS has helped us. It's been a year of growth, creativity, and learning. Here's to all we've achieved and what's ahead!
