1st hour art students at CMS have had a busy week of traveling! For their 2nd project, they learned a valuable life lesson on hand sewing & machine sewing. They made 225+ emojis to pass out to the students at Mark Twain. I'm so proud of all this group accomplished this quarter!
Blankets made during 8th Grade Service Day were donated to a local nursing home.
Parents, just a reminder that Friday, December 17th is an early dismissal and Charleston Middle School will be dismissing at 1:25. Everyone have a Happy Holiday! #cmscusd1
Last week, CMS art students from 1st & 2nd quarter put their art display for the winter art show. The Community Art class also sold art & dog treats to raise money for the Coles County Animal Shelter. They had a goal of $150 and ended up making $376! Thanks to all that came out!
CMS students in first hour art decided to raise money for the Coles County Animal Shelter. They made and sold both art and dog treats at the art show last week. They raised $376 (exceeding their goal of $150)! Today, they delivered the money and got to visit the animals!
Mrs. McMahan’s EPIC class won “The Gnome” during today’s friendly 8Gold competition: tallest, freestanding Christmas tree made from triangular pyramids. Congrats!!
Tomorrow night the CMS art students will be putting on an art show! Additionally, first hour students are raising money for the Coles County Animal Shelter. They made art to sell for $5 and dog treats for $3. Stop by and enjoy the art!
