CMS Student Student and Parent News and Events – November 29th – Dec. 3rd
Parents,
We hope you had a restful Thanksgiving. We are looking forward to seeing our students back on Monday! The next 3 ½ weeks are going to be very busy. Please keep up-to-date on all our events posted on the CMS Weekly Announcements on Canvas and our Chase Middle Homepage.
Let’s have a great week!
Mr. Byrd
Energy Drinks
We continue to have issues with students bringing and sharing energy drinks. These are causing a disruption during class and lunch. Beginning Monday, November 29, 2021 students can no longer bring energy drinks to school. Thank you for your understanding and support. This is now reflected in our Student Handbook. Handbook Statement: Energy drinks are prohibited from this school. All food and drink containers must be clear and spillproof
Boys Basketball Tryouts – Nov. 29th – 3:15-4:30\
All boys interested in tryouts must attend. Any wrestler will tryout after the wrestling season ends. All students trying out must have a current physical on file along with the other required sports paperwork.
Girl’s Basketball Tryouts will be scheduled after the volleyball season finishes.
Chase Middle - Can Food Drive
Our annual Can Food drive is in full swing. The Chase Middle School can food drive has been a tradition for close to 20 years. We are proud to do this community service project each and every year to help those in need. We are collecting can food and non- perishable food items (ramen noodles, Mac and cheese cups) until December 21st. The homeroom from each grade with the most cans collected will be rewarded with an Ice Cream party. The homeroom with the most cans collected in the entire school will be rewarded with a Pizza Party. We encourage you to turn in canned food items to your homeroom teacher or to the PE department each and every day. Thank you and Happy Holidays.”
