Fit Day

Spartan students participated in the annual Fit Day event for 7th grade students. We had a great day of fitness and fun!

Self Discovery Unit

Spartan students have started a Self-Discovery unit in English class. The students will be completing two assignments. The first is a 5 paragraph essay about themselves, their families, their friends, and various favorite possessions and activities. This essay is written at school and will be due on Friday, September 10th.

The students will also be completing a project entitled, "All About Me From A-Z". Spartan students will use each letter of the alphabet to think of one thing to describe them or tell about something important to them.

Both of these projects will be taking place over the next few weeks. I am looking forward to seeing the final copies and learning more about each Spartan student.

Welcome Spartans!

The Spartan team would like to wish a warm welcome to our newest group of Spartans! We are looking forward to a great 2010-2011 school year at CMS!

Book Swap

Canonsburg Middle School will be hosting a Book Swap!

Here's how it works:

• Bring in your used books from May 17-21
• Take your books to Mrs. Wright or Mrs. Drakeley
• You will get a ticket for each book you bring in
• The following week, May 24-28, you will have a chance to select a book for each ticket you have.

An informational flyer will be distributed tomorrow, May 13, in home base! Be sure to read over this and select some books to bring in for the swap!

We are hoping to have each student bring in one book. This is a great way to get some new books for summer reading!
