Mrs. Bauer's 8th Grade FACS classes just wrapped up a delicious project!! They have been working on a Food Truck project where they had to create a menu, build their food trucks and then prepare an item from the menu to taste.😋
Today's Bengal Way Call of the Day is William McCann! William is no stranger to being caught living the Bengal Strong way and has once again been nominated by a staff member to be our Call of the Day! Ms. Burger was admiring his cutting board he made in Wood Shop at CCCHS, she told him she always wanted one and what an amazing job he did on his, he responded with I would love to give it to you. William is honestly one of the kindest kids around!
Today's Bengal Way Call of the Day is Bria Link! Bria wrote a note and left it on our amazing secretary Ashley's desk describing how much she appreciates Ashley and the job she does at the school. Being Grateful Bria is a great way to live the #bengalstrong way!
Good Luck today Bengals!! Reminder you need a Daily Pass for Fort Riley to get on post to watch today's games.

Mrs. Bauer's 6th grade FACS students with the felt monsters that they designed and hand sewed! Amazing project!
Good Luck Lady Bengals!
Today's Bengal Spotlight Featured PAWS is Mr. Kelly's PAWS. Early risers. Morning people. Wide awake. These are all improper descriptions of PAWS students in Mr. Kelly’s class. Instead, the students are often reading emails, watching a brief SEL video, checking grades, and even some last-minute schoolwork. We’re not the high energy, Red Bull drinking, PAWS challenge fanatics of CCCMS. However, if you’re looking for a quiet place to gather your thoughts with peaceful music and wafts of fresh brewed coffee, this is the place to be each morning.
Congratulations to the Bengal students who participated in today's Spelling Bee! Everyone did amazing and the Spelling Bee lasted 20 rounds! William Lira out-spelled all other Bengal spellers! Way to go William! The top 9 will be representing CCCMS at the District Spelling Bee.
Good Luck on the road today Bengals! #bengalstrong
