We are very grateful for the amazing foundation both of our children have gotten at CMS; Our daughter is truly a world citizen in her actions and intentions, and our son surprises us often with his sense of responsibility and care for the people and world around him.

It's Conference Time!

By Stephanie Sayre • April 1, 2025
It's Conference Time! This week, CMS is closed on Friday for Conference Day. We set aside this valuable time so guides and parents can come together on behalf of the child. If you haven't signed up to meet with your child's guide - do it today! I recall from my own experiences as a guide for many years that most of the time parents wanted to know if their child was progressing and if they were connecting socially with others. While every child, family, and school year is different, I would venture to guess that still holds true. Conferences are a great time to press pause, reflect on where the child has come from, and also look forward to where they are heading. There's tremendous value in connecting as a team with the common purpose of preparing the child for life.

Get Outdoors & Enjoy Spring!

By Stephanie Sayre • March 11, 2025
Spring Break is right around the corner and the weather has been amazing! I hope you are all planning some outdoor adventures next week. Whether large or small, any time you take it outside you are providing that necessary "VItamin N" of nature. The health benefits are well known but let's not forget there are emotional benefits too in bringing us calm and restoring our sense of joy and wonder. The feel of sand and dirt, the warmth of the sun, the brightness of the blue sky - simply expressing and admiring these things with your child can bring connection as well. Look at those lovely clouds overhead as the Lower El students are enjoying PE! Can you name them? hint at the bottom of this page!
