NOVEMBER is Native American Heritage Month

Each day we commit to ensuring our students, staff and families BELONG. It's an honor to be granted the opportunity to share this beautiful photo of Jeri McKagan with you. Jeri is our Library Clerk, Track Coach and Advisor for our Indigenous Student Union. This image reminds me that there is still so much more to learn about each other, the kids we serve, and the community we live in. This year, kids are connecting in ways that are uplifting and positive -- in Cooking Club, Athletics, Gaming Club, Crochet Club, and more! Celebrating similarities and diversity is what makes CKMS so special. This month's November theme is GRATITUDE. On November 7th, we engaged students in a Veterans Day Assembly to honor and celebrate all who have served in our Department of Defense. Below is a picture of our assembly's guest speaker, Mr. Greg Klos (parent of 8th graders - Audrey and Emily Klos). With all my heart -- I'm grateful for your partnership to make sure ALL have a place in our Cub Family circle!
