Mr. Calkins and Mr. Petrie had students in their DDP (Design Drawing and Production) classes get right to work on Thursday with a favorite first day activity: The Paper Tower Challenge!
The goal is to build the tallest possible free-standing structure using only three sheets of paper and 24 inches of tape. We saw a school record last year, and this year, the students delivered as the bar was raised even further by Gabe Grinnell and Colton Schuler! The pair built a tower that stood at an incredible 76.5 inches tall.
The previous record, set last year by Corbin Marsh and Brayden Seymour, was 73.5 inches.
Colton and Gabe will have their names added to Mr. Petrie’s “Wall of Fame” for their achievement.
A last first day for two lifelong friends. We hope the entire Class of 2025 had a great first day! Let's see what the second one brings.
Mrs. Pulizzi and her first grader Scarlett are excited to share a great year ahead!

Is it spirit week, or the first day of school in the District Office?
You decide.
With our first day, also comes plenty of last first days among the Class of 2025! Misty Grinnell passed along this picture of Mettarose as she starts off on the first day of senior year!

CES Interventionist Katie Bliss was excited to take her two boys to first grade this morning!
For CMS Teacher Stephanie Smith, every day is now "Bring Your Child to Work Day" for the foreseeable future. Two of her own start fifth grade today, and when they move up, her first grader will be ready to carry the torch at CMS for another four years. Family is what it's all about.
Have an AWESOME year!
