CTMS TIDBITS FEBRUARY 23, 2024
CTMS is having our very first TRAEGER WINTER OLYMPICS!! Students are forming groups along with a staff member and getting ready for dress up days and lunch and recess activities every day next week!
To celebrate a successful first semester, all Traeger students participated in a Traeger LIFE celebration. They participated in a school-wide scavenger hunt in self-selected teams of 2-3 students per team. The students in each grade level who accumulated the most points will be receiving a pizza lunch! Be sure to ask your child how they did!
Last week CTMS students had a Coin War homebase competition to raise money for the American Heart Association. The homebase results were as follows... 6th grade - 3rd place - Williams (16 pounds 5 oz), 2nd place - Blum (25 pounds) and 1st place - Wagner (37 pounds 5 oz). 7th grade - 3rd place - Frank/May (5 pounds 13.2 oz), 2nd place - Fiestadt (9 pounds 11.2 oz) and 1st place is a TIE - McWane and Allen (14 pounds 2.5 oz). 8th grade - 3rd place - Hirsbrunner (4 pounds 11.7 oz), 2nd place - Koehler )7 pounds 5.4 oz) and 1st place - Stauffacher (12 pounds 5 oz). 1st place received donuts in their homebase last week Friday :) Results by grade level... 3rd place - 8th grade with 29 pounds 1.7 oz. 2nd place - 7th grade with 50 pounds 7.3 oz. 1st place - 6th grade with 85 pounds 3.4 oz! WOW - Thank you to everyone who helped donate. We collected a total of $1003.03.
