CMS had another successful holiday food drive!  The 6th grade class collected the most non-perishable food items with 1096.  5th grade edged out the 7th grade for 2nd place by three cans and the 8th grade class took 4th place.  Thank you to all of the students, families, community members and businesses that donated to our food drive effort!

5th Grade Band Parent Letter

December 6th, 2016

Dear 5th Grade Parents/Guardians:

Chadron Middle School will hold a 5th grade parent meeting immediately following the 5th/6th grade Choir Concert on December 15th in the Chadron High School library.  The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the 5th grade band class that students will take during the 2nd semester of the school year.  Topics of discussion will include: class goals, instrument rentals and supplies that students will need to participate in band.  Mr. Rischling will also answer any questions that you have regarding the class.  

We are looking forward to having our 5th grade students participate in band!  This is the second year that CMS 5th graders have had this opportunity and we hope that having both a choir and band experience will enable them to make an informed decision when choosing which music class to pursue next year.  We appreciate feedback from students and parents so that we can make adjustments in our future planning.

If you are unable to attend the meeting on December 15th, please contact Mr. Dressel so that he can get you the information.  Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you at the 5th/6th grade choir concert at 6 PM on December 15th.

Sincerely,

Nick Dressel

Chadron Middle School Principal
