Friday brought a SEA of blue to CAM as we wrapped up an incredible Homecoming week!

The day started with students competing in games in the gym, all trying to earn those last few points toward the Spirit Stick. After the morning fun, everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch featuring hamburgers generously donated by Massena Livestock and prepared by B&T Meats, along with watermelon donated by the Adam and Alex McCunn Family. We are so thankful for the support that helped make lunch possible!

After lunch, it was time to get the class floats ready for the Homecoming Parade. The rain held off for most of the parade, although we did get a little sprinkle toward the end. That didn't stop the fun, as students and community members made their way to the gym for the Homecoming Pep Rally!

And now for the moment everyone was waiting for...

THE SENIORS ARE OUR SPIRIT STICK WINNERS!

It was an incredibly close race, with the Seniors edging out the Juniors by just 5 points!

What a way to finish an amazing Homecoming week! The afternoon was full of Cougar pride, school spirit and plenty of memories.

And to top it all off, our Cougar football team brought home a WIN!

Congratulations, Cougars! What a week!

Pink Banner Important Announcement
Your Presence Matters!

September is Attendance Awareness Month, and it’s a great reminder that every school day counts!

Regular attendance helps students stay connected, keep up with learning, build strong relationships, and develop habits that support future success. Even a few missed days here and there can add up over the course of the school year.

Thank you to our students, families, teachers, and staff for making attendance a priority. Every day in school is another opportunity to learn, grow, connect, and succeed!
