Mrs. Merritt's students enjoyed outdoor learning this week, soaking up the sunshine while diving into their lessons. There's something special about fresh air and blue skies that makes learning even better!
When the weather cooperates in January, we take full advantage of our outdoor classroom space. Love seeing our Grizzlies engaged and enjoying education beyond four walls! 💙🐻

Her care for others and commitment to student success are evident in everything she does.
One of Ms. Julien’s passions is improving student attendance, and she has made it her mission to help CFMS reach the highest attendance rates possible.

In Mrs. Morin's class, students practiced cooperative drawing with holiday themes. The challenge: draw collaboratively, one shape at a time, with no verbal communication. This activity strengthened visual literacy, patience, and nonverbal collaboration skills—all while having fun creating scenes of the Grinch and Santa! 🎅🎨
