Staff Holiday

Breakfast

Volunteers for CMS

The CMS music department has be very busy this holiday season with field trips and community

involvement. Members of the CMS Chorus dazzled the Vining’s Tree Lighting with Christmas Carols. They have

become a yearly staple to the area’s Christmas Celebration. Band contributed to the Smyrna Tree

Lighting Ceremony. Collaborating with Griffin Middle School and Campbell High School, our 8th grade and 7th grade symphonic band presented holiday music with the added fun of glow lights! In addition, the 7th grade symphonic band brought their holiday cheer to

the Peachtree Creek Living Center. Students and

residents enjoyed the experience!

Music Department Fieldtrips

Lastly, the CMS Chamber Orchestra joined the Teasley Treble

Tones at Teasley Elementary’s WinterFest. Music, crafts, and

Santa made this festive night memorable to all that attended.

The 7th and 8th grade orchestra also visited the Atlanta Sym-

phony Orchestra in December. In the program, Nature’s Sym-

phony, students listened to music inspired by the natural world.

Please contact Mrs. Clark (chorus), Mr. Selby (band), and Ms.

Piper (orchestra) for more information about these wonderful

musical ensembles!

And in the

Community!

CMS College Day The CMS Counseling Department hosted its annual College Day the CMS Way. This half-day event took place Tuesday, Dec. 20th.

Each 8th class visited four speakers--which included: college stu-dents, members of the community, and representatives from local

colleges. Presenters shared their educational stories with stu-dents. Students were engaged during the sessions, asking tons of questions. The Counseling Department also wants to send a

HUGE thanks to the Akers Mill Chipotle for providing lunch to our

guests.

If you have a story that you would like to share with our students at the 2017, College Day the CMS Way—please email

A Day in the Life of a CMS

Student

Spartan Futbal Club On December 10th, Campbell Middle School sponsored

the first La Copa de Smyrna, which will occur twice a year. In the inaugural La Copa de Smyrna soccer teams from

Smitha MS, Griffin MS and Campbell MS competed for the cup! Smitha won the trophy and tournament this round, but the Campbell Spartans hope to bring the cup home in the

Spring. There was a great show of support from our parents and the players involved from all the schools, with over 300

people coming out for the first tournament. La Copa de Smyrna will be back for a second round in May and we hope to gain support from more schools in the Smyrna

community.

Mr. Stapp would like to extend a huge thank you to the teachers/sponsors who have given their Wednesday eve-nings to come out and work with our players every week, and who helped organize the tournament. We would also

like to thank Mr. Tanner, Mrs. Sherry Bell and Ms. Lashieka Govan who have been instrumental in approving equipment needed and inspiring support from the Smyrna Community.

Music Concerts

The music department presented their holiday concerts in December. Along with

standard repertoire, the band, orchestra, and chorus preformed holiday favorites.

Students enjoyed share with family and friends what they have learned over the

semester in their music classes.
