Here's an idea... If you are heading to Walmart, why not pick up a little something for a Clark Middle School classroom. Several CMS teachers have posted wish lists on www.teacherwishlist.com. They are requesting small items that would be put to good use. Many items you may already have around the house.

How it works:
1. Simply click the link www.teacherwishlist.com
2. Enter DRE's zip code: 66012
3. Find Clark Middle School and select a teacher's name
4. Print out a list (or two) and take it with you
5. Pick the items you can help with
6. Drop off or send them to school with your child

Don't see your teacher's name? Just email Janet Crouch at alivias_mom@hotmail.com. P.A.C.K.S. will get the message to them that parents are eager to help and encourage them to post their wishes.

Thanks again for your continued support!

USD 204 Day at Livestrong Park

A great time was had by all at the first USD 204 Day at Livestrong Sporting Park. Nearly 100 district soccer fans took advantage of the great ticket pricing and enjoyed a beautiful day watching Sporting KC win 2-0 over the New York Red Bulls to clinch a first place playoff spot.

Panther Prowl - October 11, 2011

2011-09-28T08:34:00.002-05:00

What is the Panther Prowl?
The Panther Prowl is the one, all-school fundraiser we ask our students, parents, community, and staff members to participate in to raise funds for student centered incentives.

Why should my student participate?
The students, staff, and parents can enjoy a nice afternoon on Tuesday, October 11th walking or running approximately 3.0 miles on a route in Bonner Springs. The health benefits from exercise and laughing with friends will be a great way to celebrate the end of 1st quarter.

Each participant who collects or donates $20.00 will receive a t-shirt, participate in the walk/run, and enjoy donated gifts and prizes from our community of Bonner Springs-Edwardsville.

This has become one of the most memorable events in a middle school student’s term at CMS.

How can I volunteer to help with the Panther Prowl?
Contact the PACKS (Parents Always Communicating with Kids and Staff) table to sign up or contact Melissa Grimm at jayhawkie@yahoo.com

For more information or if you would like to make a personal/business donation, please contact CMS directly at 422-5115.
