CCMS stakeholders are committed to the success of all students. No exceptions. No excuses.

Several gifted and talented students from CCMS joined in the festivities at DREAMFEST on March 14, 2013.  Dreamfest is an annual event held at NKU and sponsored by the Northern Kentucky Association for Gifted Education (NKAGE).  Approximately 1,000 gifted and talented students from across Northern Kentucky participated in the event which offered 60+ break-out sessions lead by teachers, artists, musicians, engineers, curators, and many others from various local organizations who donated their time and talents for this event.  The attached video was produced by some of the students attending under the leadership of one of the presenters.

As part of our English-language arts course,  CCMS designed a summer reading program that all CCMS students participate in each summer to aid our students in understanding the following:

• Reading can be an enjoyable pastime.
• People read for pleasure, not just to acquire information.
• Reading is a skill that improves with practice.
• Reading can be a family activity; families in which parents read inspire children to read.
• Reading is fundamental in providing a solid basis for academic achievement.

We are asking that all CCMS students read a minimum of one novel or book this summer that is at the appropriate reading level of that student. Your student’s English-Language Arts teacher has already provided the necessary materials for student to begin this fantastic opportunity, but we are also providing these documents to you electronically via the links below. Please feel free to contact any member of the CCMS ELA department for further questions (Note: summer break starts May 29 for CCMS faculty and the checking of school email may be sporadic).
