Dear CFMS Families,
As we head toward the homestretch of the 17/18 school year there are several reminders I'd like to make you aware of that may directly impact your child and family. Many of these reminders contain specific information below, so be sure and check them out.
Students taking courses for high school credit will begin finals starting Tuesday. Math finals will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday (5/15-5/16). World language finals will be held on Thursday and Friday (5/17-5/18). Finally, eighth grade students in Advanced Physical Science will take their final on Monday and Tuesday (5/21-5/22)
On May 18th our eighth grade students will take a field trip to Lake View Cemetery as part of their monument unit in preparation for our trip to Washington D.C. Speaking of Washington D.C., we are officially booked and finalized in all areas of the trip.
Please take a minute and click the link below, set up by our seventh grade students to raise money to build a well in the South Sudan. This fundraiser is being done in conjunction with their end of year unit and REC Regatta. Students have already raised over $7,000 dollars!
If you're not busy tonight, head over to the Chagrin Falls Town Hall for a great time with friends. This is an "adults ONLY" event. Money raised will go toward offsetting the costs of the Washington D.C. trip. The evening is hosted by Dad's Club and more information is listed below.
Our staff is looking forward to spending time with you and your children over the final thirteen days of school. It's always a bittersweet time of year for everyone who is a part of our middle school family and we look forward to being a part of the memories that will be made.
As always, if you need anything, just let me know!
Proud to be a Tiger,

A Message from School Counselor, Mr. Patterson:
There are many ways to improve or maintain good emotional health.
- Be aware of your emotions and reactions. Notice what in your life makes you sad, frustrated, or angry. Try to address or change those things.
- Express your feelings in appropriate ways. Let people close to you know when something is bothering you. Keeping feelings of sadness or anger inside adds to stress. It can cause problems in your relationships and at work or school.
- Think before you act. Emotions can be powerful. Give yourself time to think, and be calm before you say or do something you might regret.
- Manage stress. Try to change situations causing you stress. Learn relaxation methods to cope with stress. These could include deep breathing, meditation, and exercise.
- Strive for balance. Find a healthy balance between work and play and between activity and rest. Make time for things you enjoy. Focus on positive things in your life.
- Take care of your physical health. Your physical health can affect your emotional health. Exercise regularly, eat healthy meals, and get enough sleep. Don’t abuse drugs or alcohol.
- Connect with others. We are social creatures. We need positive connections with other people. Make a lunch date, join a group, and say hi to strangers.
- Find purpose and meaning. Figure out what it is important to you in life, and focus on that. This could be your work, your family, volunteering, caregiving, or something else. Spend your time doing what feels meaningful to you.
- Stay positive. Focus on the good things in your life. Forgive yourself for making mistakes, and forgive others. Spend time with healthy, positive people.
