Community Corner

Good Evening Community Families and Staff, At Community Magnet Charter School, we believe that each student is unique and can be a responsible, self-motivated individual who respects him/herself, others, and the environment . . . Over the past few weeks a few 4th and 5th grade students have approached me with their concerns for our environment. Some are concerned about our overuse of water bottles. They would like to design CMCS water bottles for purchase. Students could use the filtered water fountains to refill their bottles which would reduce the number of plastic water bottles used on campus. Another concern is the unnecessary waste caused by the use of plasticware in the cafeteria. Instead, they suggest using more earth-friendly materials, like bamboo, as an environmentally responsible substitute. And others are concerned about keeping our campus clean and supporting students affected by bullying. They are trying to form clubs or groups to clean the campus and to support ...

Good evening Community Families and Staff, Thank you to all stakeholders who completed the School Experience Survey. Students and staff each had 100% participation (well one student moved before completing the survey, but I still count it as 100%). Parent participation looks quite impressive, but we won't know exact numbers until they've been counted. End of Semester Activities : Council Meeting - Monday, December 9th in the school library, 2:45 pm.  Fifth grade field trip - Wednesday, December 11th. Holiday Program - Thursday, December 19th Minimum Day, 12:45 dismissal and Pajama Day - Friday, December 20th Lost and Found: The Lost & Found is overflowing with jackets, sweatshirts, coats, sweaters, lunchboxes, and water bottles. Please be sure to stop by before the Winter Break to claim your missing items. Any items remaining after December 20th will be donated to needy families. That's it for now, short and sweet.  I look forward to seeing you around...

Good Evening Community Families and Staff, I hope everyone has enjoyed the week off and spent quality time with family and friends. Tis' the season! Even the cold and rainy weather encourages us to spend more time indoors with our families. I really love this time of year, though I do admit, I miss the white winters of Michigan where I grew up with trees heavy and beautiful with ice. And yes, I do tell my daughter stories of when I was a kid, and had to walk for miles in snow, sleet, and freezing cold to get to school every day. (This is a true story . . . except maybe the "for miles" part.) We even had recess outside in the cold and snow, believe it or not! But, I digress . . . We have only three weeks of school left in the semester and, believe me, it will go by fast! There are not many events happening in these three weeks, but the ones we have are important: School Experience Surveys School Experience Surveys are due on December 6th. If you have already comple...
