Yesterday, our CMS Hill Campus 8th graders had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Kindergarten classrooms at Park Elementary for a special reading experience! The older students shared their love of reading by reading stories aloud, engaging with the young learners, and serving as positive role models.

The Kindergarteners were excited to spend time with their middle school buddies, and the 8th graders enjoyed helping foster a love of books and learning. Experiences like these strengthen connections across our school community and create lasting memories for students of all ages.

Thank you to our students and staff for making this meaningful visit such a success!

Ms. Knaper’s class had a busy and fun-filled week!

Last week, students created Mother’s Day flower pots. They picked their own flowers and pots, planted the flowers, and made two paper flowers listing special things about their moms. This activity helped students practice their writing skills while creating thoughtful gifts.

The class also enjoyed a bowling trip and lunch at Sheetz! Students in Ms. Knaper’s class worked hard throughout the year making and selling food and crafts at two bazaars to earn money for the outing. During the trip, students practiced teamwork, turn-taking, social skills, and independence by placing their own lunch orders at a kiosk, building important life skills in the community.
