This week's featured Department at CCCMS is our ELA (English Language Arts) Teaching Staff. Our ELA staff works diligently to teach our students all aspects of reading, writing, novel studies, and grammar. In addition, our ELA Department does a variety of State (KITE Testing), and AimsWeb testing during the year. These tests measure our student's growth with reading fluency and comprehension; two skills that are essential for success beyond CCCMS! We appreciate the efforts of our ELA Department! Below is a little bit more about each teacher.
Mrs. Koster has been teaching 6th grade ELA at CCCMS for 4 years. She previously taught 2nd grade in Wakefield and Manhattan. She lives in Clay Center with her husband and 2 children. Mrs. Koster enjoys reading, watching tv, spending time outdoors, and listening to classic country music.
Mrs. Fickes has been teaching at CCCMS for 23 years. She and her husband farm and have cattle. They have a daughter in high school and a grown son. Her hobbies are being outdoors, reading, walking her dogs, and traveling.
Mr. Kelly is in his third year at CCCMS. He lives in Manhattan with his wife and son who is a high school junior. His daughter is enjoying her final year at a college in Chicago, IL. He enjoys reading, movies with his kids, and he misses the cold and snowy winters of upstate NY he had as a child.
We are extremely lucky to have such an amazing group of ELA teachers! Remember Books let you see the world!
Keep your kids reading and our school thriving! Our Book Fair helps you do both. We are open before and after school all week in the Bengal Library! We will also be set up in Common Grounds on Saturday from 9-4 come see us and support our READERS!

Each day they are hustling around the kitchen to keep all those bellies happy and satisfied. Also photographed is Joy Lund who does so much behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly! We appreciate all their hard work and dedication.

Today's Bengal Spotlight Featured team is the 7th Grade volleyball team! The 7th grade volleyball team is off to a great start with an undefeated record for the A team. In the Chapman tournament they brought home gold for both the A and B team. They showed lots of grit and determination, ultimately winning the tournament. With just a few weeks left, I am excited to see how much more they will grow and develop.
