Cumberland Elementary School

All students in elementary and middle school "walked around the world" with their Raider Keys Passports at the beginning of the year to review the school expectations. Once their passport was filled, they were entered into a raffle drawing. Pictured are our drawing winners and Raiders of the Month.

Mrs. McElravy's 4th grade class did a toothpaste activity yesterday to learn about showing respect in the classroom with the words we choose.

Crush Cancer T-Shirts are available to order until September 14. All additional funds will go to assist Brittany Gilbert, Cumberland Middle School teacher, with her medical expenses.

Health forms and Dental Bus forms are due to the school nurse on Friday. If your child has not brought these forms home, they are still available at both school offices.

Mrs. Beard's class is celebrating the 2nd day of 2nd grade in '22!
