CMS Finalist for "ED"ies Award

As indicated in my last post, a team from the CMS community traveled to Concord on Tuesday, March 4th to deliver our presentation as to why we should be the NH Middle School of the Year for 2007-2008.  On Friday, March 7th, Mr. O'Malley received the call from the "ED"ies committee that CMS has indeed been chosen as a finalist.  On April 15th (yes...tax day!) members of the "ED"ies committee will be spending the day at CMS to see our school in action. 

Many people have asked about the process and the number of schools who were in the running.  I don't really know that exact answers to any of those questions.  However, what I have been able to surmise is that approximately 6 schools were asked to come present to the committee.  I believe 3 of those schools are being visited.  

None the less, we are very excited to host the committee.  We think they will be amazed by the professionalism of our staff, the dedication of our students, and the support of our community. If we are chosen as the NH Middle School of the Year for 2007-2008, it will be the result of the CMS community!
