Physical Education and Health: ALL eighth graders will have PE every day. Students will rotate out of PE to have an 8 week health unit which will be taught by Mrs. Stem, our health teacher. Students are expected to have a CMS PE uniform and appropriate shoes to wear in class each day. Each child will be issued their own locker with a built in combination lock to secure these items in the PE locker room. Uniforms cost $20 and there is a space on both the t-shirt and shorts for your child to write their name. Uniforms should not be brought to school until PE lockers have been assigned. We expect to begin class activities by Monday, September 11th so everyone will need to have their uniform by this time.
