Applying STEM! This weekend, our Robotics Coaches (Elementary) hosted the first ever Robotics Scrimmage! All of our Robotics teams gathered to practice for their upcoming competition. In comparison to other districts, our program is quite "young." During this event, led by RCES's Sherry Pryor and Bree Brown, students were able to practice, fine-tune their robots, and discuss strategies to increase their competitive competencies. The collaboration and interpersonal skills of our elementary students was impressive. Opportunities like these provide students opportunities to enhance their employability skills. Perhaps most importantly, it's another opportunity outside of fine arts and sports for students to experience a sense of belonging.

We had CPCSC students in the Indiana Junior All State Band, the IMEA Honor Choir (elementary and middle school), All State Choir, and the IMEA Honor Band. This is a huge accomplishment for our students. In addition, Paige Lundy (Ray Crowe) and Emily Arndt (Clark) presented sessions at the conference, Pete Sampson (WCHS) ran a Jazz Reading Session, Kendall Anvoots (CPMS) and David Phebus (Whiteland Elementary) chaperoned the honor choir, and Katy Briel (CPMS) coordinated the Junior All State Band and Abby Ellinger (CPMS) chaperoned.

Today, we honor a man who believed in equality and service to others.
