Happy School Counselor Week to our very own Mrs. Price! She is a listening ear, a gentle push, and an open door to all of our students. We are grateful to have her upbeat spirit and fun loving personality in our school building. She is also a huge help in the office when our Spanish speaking families need assistance. Thank you Mrs. Price for all that you do for us!

This weekend our students will be performing โMagic Treehouse: The Knight at Dawn KIDS!โ They have been working so hard under the leadership of Ms. Vaught and Mrs. Alvarez and now it is almost showtime!
There are two shows - one Friday at 6:30 and one Saturday at 1:00 at Cleveland Middle School in the theatre. There are several events at CMS this weekend, so you may find more parking at the back of the school. At the entrance of the campus, turn left and follow that road around to the back.
Come show your support for our talented Rockets on the big stage! We hope to see you there!
