Hello Colt Families,
Can you believe that we are in our last two weeks of school! We are all looking forward to a nice sunny and hot summer! During the next two weeks we have so many exciting things occurring in each of the houses.
Here are a few examples of activities being planned:
Paper Football League daily during 10th period
Challenge Days: All grade levels May 23-26
8th Grade Recognition: May 23
8th Grade Annual Field Trip: May 18
Celebration of Excellence: May 27
Keystone Testing: Algebra
May 16 & 17 (Algebra Students Only)
Last week of testing!! We did it CVMS! We are so proud of all of our students as we have returned to a typical school year and state testing.
Move-up Day for 5th Graders!
We had a fabulous Move-up Day experience last Thursday! We are excited to meet our new 6th graders in the Fall! The 5th graders participated in a building tour, an 'all about 6th grade session' with a panel of 6th graders, and ended in a colt craft for next year. A big shout out to our 6th grade ambassadors! Thank you everyone!
English Festival
The WPCTE English Festival for our 7th and 8th graders took place on Wednesday, May 11. The team with Layla Asbury and Declan Nangle won both the insights and talk show activities! They were awarded books as their prize, and we will hear back at a later date about if they are one of the "Super Winners" who will be invited to an award brunch in the fall. Click to check out the pictures of the participants and the winning team. Thank you to Ms. Bouch for sponsoring this activity for our CVMS students! We hope many students will participate again next year.
Ducky Days!
"Duck Days" are here at CVMS! The 7th grade science classrooms have been incubating duck eggs since early April. Last week they hatched! Students will work with the ducklings daily to reinforce biology concepts such as cell division, reproduction, life cycles, natural selection, and genetics. This real-world, hands-on experience is valuable in students' social and emotional learning also as they become caregivers to the new life they watched grow and develop inside of the eggs. Ducklings in the classroom make science come alive!! A big shout out to Mrs. Whitaker and Mr. Caplan for supporting the project!
Chromebooks Will be Turned In with House Teachers:
Beginning the last week of school, Chromebooks and chargers will need to be turned in for the summer. Please note, your child will not bring the device home past this date for the remainder of the school year.
