We had a busy week at CMS!
Our 7th graders had their annual end-of-year trip to Urban Air in Newnan, Georgia. Students enjoyed the trampolines as well as obstacle courses, virtual reality games, and the zip line. Thank you to all of the chaperones who helped out!
Our 6th grade band members traveled to Woodland High School to perform for and with the Woodland high school band and then traveled down the street to LakePoint Station. Students performed a concert, rehearsed with the high school ensemble, then sat in on their rehearsal as they practiced some of their music. Once we arrived at Lakepoint Station, we enjoyed laser tag, Pizza, Bowling, Arcade time, and clip and climb! Our chaperones once again knocked it out of the park!
Great job to both 7th and 8th grade this week on your field trips. We hope that had fun!
