Beyond the Worksheet: Real-World Budgeting in Ms. Johnson’s Class 📉💰

If you walk by Ms. Johnson’s room, you might see students hard at work on creating various beverages for the Drink Cart orders that faculty and staff have ordered, but the real magic is happening behind the scenes with the students' monthly budgets.

Students are learning that a paycheck is more than just spending money—it's about responsibility. By using the "earnings" from their time working at the Drink Cart to pay for simulated "living expenses" (rent, phone bills, and utilities), they are developing the habits they need for life after graduation.

Once the bills are settled, the remaining "profit" can be used for snacks and drinks. This hands-on approach to budgeting turns abstract math into a tangible life skill. Great job, Ms. Johnson. Ms. Martin, Ms. McNeal, and students! We hear from faculty and staff that the drinks are delicious!

🧟‍♂️ Modeling the "Zombie Apocalypse" in Advanced Algebra! 📊

Is it a movie set? No, it's math class! Coach Transue’s Advanced Algebra students are currently mastering exponential functions by simulating a zombie virus outbreak.

Using a population simulation with different markers, students tracked how a single "infection" can spread through a crowd. By shaking the population bags and recording how many new "zombies" appeared in each round, students were able to visualize:

Exponential Growth: How quickly a virus can spread through a healthy population.

Exponential Decay: The rapid reduction of the healthy population over time.

It was a fantastic, hands-on way to turn abstract equations into real-world (and fictional-world!) data. Great job, Tigers! 🖤💛

Our Art Classes were buzzing with energy this January! 🐝✨ Our talented students have been diving into some seriously cool projects lately:

Clay Monsters 👾 Taking inspiration from Monster Energy Drink cans, students sculpted their own unique clay monsters! From toothy grins to extra eyeballs, these creations have some major personality.

Black Light Projects 💡 We’re glowing up! Students are currently working on vibrant, neon masterpieces designed to pop under black lights. The classroom has never looked so electric.

We are so proud of the imagination and hard work these young artists are showing every day. All of their hard work and creativity will displayed at our art show in the spring! Date will be announced at a later time.

Guacamole, Cupcakes, and Great Teamwork! 🥑🧁

The CHS peer group had a busy and productive day in the kitchen! The group worked together to prepare a student-selected menu of fresh guacamole and delicious cupcakes.

While the food was fantastic, the real focus was on mastering the "ingredients" of a successful team. Students practiced:

Clear Communication: Keeping everyone on the same page.

Mutual Support: Helping teammates cross the finish line.

Organization: Maintaining a tidy and efficient workspace.

By staying organized and supporting one another, our students ensured a smooth and efficient food prep process. Great job to all our student chefs! 🖤💛

🖤💛 Happy School Counselor’s Week! 💛🖤

This week, we want to give a huge shoutout to our incredible CMS Counselor, Ms. Sabrina Mincey!

Ms. Mincey does so much more than meet with students — she is the heart of support at CMS. From scheduling and counseling to leading our REACH Scholarship program, she works tirelessly to help our students succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

She also goes above and beyond by hosting Coffee with the Counselor each month for our students and parents, creating a welcoming space to connect, ask questions, and receive support. ☕💬

And if that wasn’t enough, she serves as our assistant cheer coach, always cheering on our Tigers in every way possible! 🐯📣

We truly could not make it without her, and we are so grateful for the care, dedication, and guidance she provides every single day.

Thank you, Ms. Mincey, for all you do for our students, families, and school community!
