The CMS Eagles EDR (8th-grade team) fought till the very last game but was bested by North Little Rock and its alliance partners!!!! The final results were: They placed 2 out of 21 in the Qualifying rounds. They won 6, lost 1, and tied 1 match. Our alliance won in the semi-finals but lost in the finals. So our alliance came 2nd overall. This is an improvement over our first meet in El Dorado where they were 9 out of 16 in qualifying and did not make it to the semifinals.
The fifth and sixth-grade robotics team won 1st place at their first Vex IQ tournament!!!!! They scored a total of 153 points in the teamwork alliance matches...2nd place was 136! Ms. Martar is extremely proud of them!
Kona Ice will be here Friday, December 8th!!!
Good luck to Ms. Martar's Engineering Eagles Robotics Team and Mrs. Todd's 8th-grade Robotics team as they travel to Little Rock tomorrow to compete in the Vex competition.
CMS Beta is hosting the annual Toys4Tots toy drive. You can help by bringing new toys and dropping off in our collection boxes in the office and Ms. Martar’s room. Beta members are asked to bring at least two toys but everyone can participate and help make Christmas a little brighter for the children in Ashley County. We are in need of toys for ages 7-10 but not Barbies or any dolls. They have plenty of those from last year. Thank you in advance for your generosity. Drop off deadline is Dec. 14th.
