To celebrate the return to the moon with Artemis 2, Mr. Walsh's 6th graders finished the year researching, designing, and presenting space missions. They researched a planet, a dwarf planet, or an asteroid and designed a mission. Then they presented to either the 7th or 8th grade teachers, who graded their projects. #Celebrate379
These Industrial Arts students completed at least 2 modules in the NCCER Core curriculum and therefore received their wallet cards. There is a QR code on the back where a future employer can scan it to see what credentials they have! Next year, they will continue working towards completing Core. #Celebrate379

🤝 Habit 4: Think Win-Win — River Crossing
👂 Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood — Trust Walk

USD 379 Families,
Last night’s rain has compromised the basement area at Garfield Elementary, which is also a shelter in the event of inclement weather. We don’t normally close school based on forecasts, as we feel our students and staff are very safe in all of our buildings. However, in this case, we would need to transport students to other buildings, which is impractical and unsafe. We also utilize the same buses within multiple buildings for after-school transportation, which makes dismissing just Garfield impractical.
Because of this, USD 379 will have a 1 pm dismissal today.
Lunch will be served as usual. All after-school sports practices and evening activities, including Project LEAD, have also been canceled. No afternoon preschool. Please call the school with any changes to your child’s after-school schedule.
🎉📊 BIG WINS at CCCMS! 📊🎉
After reviewing our Spring MRA survey data… WOW — we have SO much to celebrate! 🙌
Any area that increased by 3 or more points is considered significant growth, and we are proud to share that we had MULTIPLE areas show that kind of incredible improvement from fall to spring! 📈🔥
Today, we’re taking that celebration to the next level with our FIRST EVER Leaders in Motion Day! 🎉 This special day is all about recognizing the hard work our students have put into Leader in Me lessons and celebrating the growth we’ve made together in leadership, culture, and academics. 💪🧠❤️
This success doesn’t happen by accident — it takes a TEAM.
💥 THANK YOU to our amazing students, dedicated staff, supportive families, and our incredible community for making Leader in Me such a powerful success at CCCMS!
We are beyond excited for what’s next and can’t wait to continue watching our students step up, lead out, and make a difference! 🧡🖤

Mr. Walsh's 6th grade science students completed a "solar system scavenger hunt", which was laid out in a distance scale on the football practice field. They were excited to enjoy a beautiful day hunting down the planets, dwarf planets, and other objects in our solar system. #Celebrate379
🔥🐾 Be The Standard – Call of the Day! 🐾🔥
Today, we are recognizing Briscoe Lehman, Jase Ferguson, and Aiden Amos for an incredible display of leadership, teamwork, and straight-up problem-solving in action!
Last week, Briscoe didn’t just notice a problem—he acted. When he saw a table leg that was bent, he immediately reported it to an adult, who contacted Mr. Lund.
But here’s where it gets GOOD…
When Mr. Lund arrived (drill in hand 🔧), these three didn’t just watch—they jumped in. Under his supervision, Briscoe, Jase, and Aiden:
Loosened screws with the drill
Removed and replaced the broken table leg
Measured and adjusted the height for a perfect fit
ALL while their PAWS group was participating in a fun PAWS Challenge 😅👏 Talk about sacrifice, focus, and putting first things first!
This is what it looks like to synergize, step up without being asked, and take ownership of your space.
Huge shoutout to these young leaders—and of course, Mr. Lund for supervising the “student construction crew” 😉🔥
🐾 Way to Be The Standard, boys! 🐾
🌟 Be The Standard Call of the Day!! 🌟
Once again, we are highlighting this AMAZING duo of 8th-grade girls — Kennedy Shannon and Laney Schwab!! 👏🔥🖤
Kennedy and Laney jumped in to help the 8th-grade teachers clean up after the class worked on their tile project in the commons. NO ONE asked them to help — they just saw a need and stepped right in! 💪✨
They could have been sitting and visiting with classmates or playing games, but instead they chose to roll up their sleeves, work hard, and help make the job quicker until the entire area was CLEAN! 🧹🙌
That’s leadership. That’s character. That’s BE THE STANDARD!! 🧡🐾
👏👏 GREAT JOB GIRLS!!
