Greetings CAMS Families:

Our very own student Council and School Climate Committee will be hosting “Spirit Week,” starting this Monday. This week’s activities will include being able to dress down Monday through Thursday and a Pep rally on Friday. There are themes for each dress down day. A designated student council representative will deliver a treat for homerooms on Friday.

We are not only aiming to “pump up” our students take on the high stakes assessments, but we plan to have fun doing so.

Thank you, parents and guardians for all you do!
