As our school year comes to a close, I would like to say, “THANK YOU!” for supporting your child and partnering with our staff!  Our students learned how to BE A CYCLONE this year, and they also made tremendous academic growth.  Social and emotional development is a huge part of middle school, and so is academic achievement.  Our students’ growth on the MAP benchmarks showed that they were meeting and exceeding projected growth in the tested areas of English Language Arts and Math. We are proud of our students’ hard work!

Welcome Ms. Elise Fountain!  She will be the Unit Director for the Boys and Girls Club at Central Middle School that will be opening in August.  Enrollment for the Club will be part of the Millard online enrollment process for CMS students, and elementary and high school students will be able to sign-up after we get the school year started.  The BGC will open right after school and remain open until 9:00 p.m. each weeknight.  Students who attend the Club will have an opportunity to get homework help, participate in STEM activities, participate in visual, digital, and fine arts, and remain active through health and wellness programs.  Members can also eat a snack or a healthy meal while they are at the Club.  Students who are members of the Club are eligible for scholarships upon their graduation.  Last year, the Boys & Girls Club of the Midlands awarded $160,000 in scholarships to their members. Club membership for the entire year is only $30 and allows students to participate in all programs offered throughout the year.  If you have questions about the Boys and Girls Club, please call CMS at 402-715-8225.  Thank you!

Gratefully,

Dr. Beth Fink

Principal, Central Middle School
