Our students created a beautiful Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) bulletin board to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away. ❤️
Through this meaningful project, students learned about the traditions and cultural significance of Día de los Muertos while creating a special display celebrating the memories of those who will always hold a place in our hearts.

Our 6th Grade Family and Consumer Science students got busy in the kitchen making Apple Crescent Rolls!
Students practiced their measuring skills, followed recipe instructions, and learned how to prepare their own delicious treats. This hands-on activity gave them a chance to put their kitchen skills into action while learning valuable food preparation techniques.
A little measuring, a little baking, and a whole lot of learning!
Congratulations to our CMS Band students who made it into the Northeast KMEA ML District Honor Band!
Home Girls Basketball Game

Let's fill the gym and cheer our Braves on to victory!
Go Braves!
CMS is fundraising for green bean casserole supplies for Feed His Lamb Ministry. On Thursdays in November, students can donate $1 (or more) and wear a hat/hoodie or pajamas all day.
Students in 8th grade science explored endothermic and exothermic reactions through hands-on experiments using phenol red, calcium chloride, and baking soda. By observing temperature changes & color changes during the reactions, students investigated how energy is absorbed or released during chemical reactions. This was a great way to bring chemistry concepts to life!
Bloom & Gather Boutique will be doing another "support your schools" day on Monday, November 16th! Stop in between 12 - 8 p.m. next Monday and 10% of what is sold that day will be donated to USD 204 schools!
This week, we're highlighting Strategy 2 - Safe & Supportive Learning Environment from our USD 204 Strategic Plan! We are committed to creating a safe and supportive learning environment for all students.
Of the six Q1 initiatives in this strategy:
✅ 3 are complete
🔄 3 are in progress
Completed work includes:
✅ Centegix visitor management is now operational in every building.
✅ Project Wayfinder SEL curriculum has launched PreK-12.
✅ Staff received districtwide SEL training to support implementation.
Current work includes:
🔄 Updating district and building crisis plans and we now have a district crisis team and a crisis team in each building.
🔄 Working with Wyandotte County Emergency Management to create new building maps and shared with local police and fire departments. Seeking input on building safety checklists from SROs and building principals.
🔄 Building crisis teams will continue meeting each semester to review and strengthen emergency preparedness efforts.
Each step helps ensure our schools remain safe, supportive places where students can learn and thrive.

Our 8th Grade Science students are getting hands-on with science! Students participated in a crystal-growing lab where they created their own crystals and will observe how they develop over time.
Throughout the experiment, students are exploring how crystals form, investigating the science behind the process, and determining whether crystal growth is a physical change or a chemical reaction.
Science is better when you can see it happen!
🎶 BIG NEWS, BRAVES! 🎶
We are excited to announce that several of our 7th and 8th grade students have been selected to participate in the KMEA All-State Middle Level Honor Choir!
This is an incredible accomplishment and a true reflection of their hard work, dedication, and musical talent. Being selected for an All-State ensemble is one of the highest honors a young musician can receive, and we couldn't be prouder to have Clark Middle School represented at the state level!
Congratulations! Way to represent CMS! It's a GREAT day to be a Brave!

8th grade science has been getting hands-on this week! On Tuesday, students created mini lava lamps using oil, water, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer. On Thursday, they grew crystal trees using a mixture of household materials. These fun, hands-on experiments gave students a chance to explore and compare physical and chemical changes while learning science through observation and experimentation!
It's National Nacho Day! Our Functional Living class, along with their peers, celebrated by making delicious nachos! Students had fun working together, preparing their food, and practicing important independent living and life skills along the way.
A little teamwork, a lot of nacho goodness, and a fun way to celebrate National Nacho Day! 🧀🌮

Last night the 8th grade girls lost a close game to Woodland Spring 15-20. Kyrenae Sherwood led the Braves with 7 points, Vanessa Olvera finished with 6 points and Sutton Wilson added 2 points. Ja'Mia Berry led the team in rebounds finishing with 5. The JV team lost in another close game. Sara Asprilla Rivas led the team with 5 rebounds and 7 steals on the night.
Our 8th Science classes completed a fun, hands-on lab where they created their own mini lava lamps! During the experiment, students observed and explored the differences between physical and chemical changes and identified the science behind the bubbling reaction.
It was a fun way to bring chemistry to life!
Last week, our Functional Living Class and student peers took a trip to Imagine FURever Ranch, a nonprofit sanctuary dedicated to rescuing and caring for senior dogs!
While visiting The Ranch, students rolled up their sleeves and helped get the facility ready for its upcoming big event. They stayed busy sweeping, dusting, picking up sticks, and helping clean up around the property.
After all their hard work, students headed to McDonald’s for a well-deserved lunch! They put their functional life skills into action by independently ordering their food and counting out their money to pay for their meals.
It was a great day filled with teamwork, community service, and real-world learning opportunities. We are proud of our students for working hard, building independence, and making a difference. Way to go, Braves! 🐾🧡

Last night, our Braves hosted their first home wrestling meet of the season! It was great to see our wrestlers' hard work, determination, and perseverance on full display throughout each match. Every match was an opportunity to learn, grow, and show what it means to be a Brave!
We are proud of our wrestlers and the effort they put in on the mat. Keep working hard, Braves!
Our Functional Living and Life Skills classes had a fun fall adventure last week! 🎃 Students joined their peers for a trip to the pumpkin patch, enjoying time together, making memories, and taking in all the fall fun. It was a great opportunity to learn, explore, and celebrate the season with friends!
