Hello Panther Families! 🐾

Cold and flu season is here, and we know it can sometimes be hard to decide whether your child should stay home or come to school. Our school nurses have shared the attached flyer as a helpful guide for families when making that decision.

Thank you for partnering with us to help keep our students and staff healthy! 🖤💛

Fifth graders from CCMS had a great time learning about food safety, preparation, and nutrition during Recipes for Life, a program provided by the Carroll County Cooperative Extension Service! 🍎👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

Students gained hands-on experience and picked up helpful tips they can use in the kitchen at home. 🍽️

Today, Dr. Christopher Schmidt from Western Kentucky University visited the 7th Grade Band to help students prepare for their upcoming performances. Dr. Schmidt offered feedback from the perspective of a judge at the KMEA State Assessment, focusing on the small details that can elevate both the sound and appearance of the ensemble. Although his background is in low brass instruments, he provided guidance to every section of the band.

We are grateful for the opportunity our students had to learn from his expertise as they continue preparing for their upcoming performance.
