Hi CCMS families,
This week has been an amazing one. We want to highlight our 8th- grade Social Studies classes. Today, students created models of the regions of South Carolina. Students were highly engaged and had a lot of fun being creative with what they were learning. We are so proud of our students. Enjoy these wonderful pictures. Way to go Cougars!











Our new STEM lab is up and running. This week our students are working on building a robot that can maneuver through a set obstacle course. Students have to collaborate with each other on the plan and design of this robot. They also have to effectively communicate this plan. They have to demonstrate how robot designs are used in the real world We are so proud of Mr. Williams and his students and we cannot wait to see the finished product. Go Cougars!
