Jr/Sr High Classroom of the Week | October 12-16

This week, we’re highlighting Mr. Taylor, who teaches Digital Media and Broadcasting at our Jr./Sr. High School!

Our students welcomed writer and musician Amanda Fagan for a week of hands-on production work. They recorded three different performances and spent 20 hours working with her to record a music video.

Along the way, our students earned compliments on their drive and professionalism. We’re proud to see them putting their classroom skills to work and making a positive impression through their effort and dedication!

What a fun week for CAM Cougar Cheer!

A couple weeks ago, our Youth Cheer Campers joined the CAM Cougar Cheerleaders to learn some of our favorite cheers, practice jumps and cheer skills, and put together a short routine.

Then on Friday night, they got to take the track and show off everything they learned! We loved seeing their excitement, hard work, and Cougar spirit!

A huge thank you to all of our youth cheerleaders for spending the day with us and to everyone who came out to cheer them on! We hope you had as much fun as we did!

Here are a few pictures from camp and their Friday night performance!

Fall adventures for our youngest Cougars!

The 5th and 6th graders have the option to participate in the Mileage Club at recess! Every lap they run or walk earns them a "punch" on a card. When they complete the card, they earn toe tokens as a reward. This promotes activity at recess, encourages goal setting and having fun with friends. So far, over 23 kids have participated and over 50 miles have been logged!
