"300 Wins"

The Singing Teacher!
Eighth grade History teacher, Scott Parkhurst tends to employ unique teaching techniques to reach his students. Perhaps one of the most fun things he does is sing to them. Not just any song...he actually writes songs about the subject matter. Today the History Department celebrated Constitution Day so Mr. Parkhurst wrote a song about the Constitution. To hear it go to our Facebook page.
What some people may not know is that Mr. Parkhurst is an actual recording artist who recently released his debut album at an event in Franklin. The album completes four years of work and includes songs like; "My Cadillac" and "I Don't Write Love Songs". You can read more about it in NUVO.
We caught up with Mr. Parkhurst and his colleagues as they welcomed students this morning at CPMS.

Dr. Edsell Visits Punjabi Club!
Punjabi class teacher, Kuldeep Waraitch, says she appreciated the superintendent's visit this week. "He gave our students a chance to directly talk to him about issues they might face during the school year", says Mrs. Waraitch. She says some students might be a little apprehensive to speak with the superintendent but in this setting they felt more comfortable asking questions. She says students were grateful for Dr. Edsell taking the time to meet with them.
