 This week kicks off Bus Safety Week. 

You may feel that this does not pertain to you because you do not ride the bus to and from school. 

I can say with confidence that the majority of our school has been or will be on a school bus during their career as a student either going to and from school, going on a field trip, going to a competition, or to a sporting event. 

Here in the Pirate Nation our bus drivers go above and beyond to keep our students safe.

Here are just a few of the things that they have to do in order to keep you safe. 

  • Focus on the road. 

  • Maneuver an extremely large vehicle.

  • Monitor students to make sure they are being safe. 

  • Interact with students. 

Talk about multi-taskers!!! Those bus driver have a hard job, but they do it with a smile!

  You guys! Y’all #SteppedUp on those notes! I was so impressed with the all of you. The staff here at CMS are lucky that they get to teach such awesome students.  We are continuing to talk about Bullying and Principal’s Month this week.  You may not realize it but the Principal is really the person who affects the bullying at our school. She sets the tone and expectations to her staff and they in turn set those same things to you.  We are blessed with a strong leader who puts her students and their needs as her top priority.  What is something YOU can do here at CMS to impact the culture of our school. As a class please come up with 1 idea and submit it via the following link.  https://forms.gle/VNuFRu14tTo4z2GQ9 I will be presenting these ideas to Mrs. McAfee as things that we can possibly implement in the future.
