🍎 The CMS Teacher Appreciation Recap: A Week of Food and Fun
What an incredible week! 🌟 We just wrapped up a non-stop celebration for our amazing educators at CMS. From channeling our inner 90-year-olds to being spoiled with a "Menu of Champions," our staff felt the love every single day.
Here’s how we fueled the best team in the business:
Day 1: Dressing like 90-year-olds for the Golden Age Beauty Pageant 👵👑 (The "gray hair" was temporary, but the laughs lasted all week!)
Day 2: The Snack Cart made its rounds 🥨
Day 3: A classic Pizza Lunch to power through the midweek hump 🍕
Day 4: Breakfast is Served to start the day right 🍳
Day 5: The Grand Finale Lunch Buffet Meal 🥗
Our teachers give 100% to our students every day, so we made sure they spent this week with 100% full bellies and even fuller hearts. Huge thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate—we might have looked 90 on Monday, but we’re feeling more energized than ever! ❤️📚

🥣➗ Math Can Be Crunchy and Fun! ➗🥣
Our 2nd graders in Mrs. Phillips’ class practiced their math skills by creating cereal arrays—a hands‑on and tasty way to explore math concepts! 😄📐 This engaging activity helped students review what they’ve learned and get excited about multiplication they’ll dive into next year.
Learning is always better when it’s interactive (and a little fun)! Way to go, mathematicians! 🐯💛📚

🐚 Science, Sand, and Spectacular Memories 🐚
Who says learning only happens indoors? On Friday, May 1, 2026, students from the class of Ms. Johnson, Ms. McNeal, and Ms. Martin headed to Tybee Island for a deep dive into marine biology!
From sifting through the sand to find shore-dwelling creatures to exploring the galleries at the Marine Science Center, our students were true explorers. They didn't just read about the ecosystem—they felt the sand, smelled the salt air, and saw the wildlife firsthand.
Despite the rain during the beach portion of the trip, the smiles stayed bright. It was a day filled with discovery, teamwork, and the kind of memories that last a lifetime. Way to go, Tigers! 🐯🌊
