Attention Clippers:
Today the high school and middle school conducted practice level 1 lockdown drills to coordinate with the Columbiana Police Department on an external concern to keep students indoors this morning. However, there were no substantiated threats made to the schools. The Columbiana P.D., out of an abundances of caution, asked for our cooperation. We are generally locked down during the day, but conduct level one lockdowns to keep students indoors when asked to do so by our local police department. We will continue to follow established protocols and work with our local police/fire departments to keep ahead of safety. Thank you and have a great day!

Our 6th grade explorations class had written outrageous requests. CMS sixth-grader, Lily Jackson had written to Mr. James, the owner of the Southern Park Mall Chick-fil-A. As part of the outrageous request, Mr. James agreed to come out and present to our entire school regarding hard work, dedication, kindness, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Mr. James also offered free Chick-Fil-A to Lilly Jackson and will provide lunch for Mrs. Cappuzzello's Explorations class in the next few weeks. A very special thank you to Mr. and Mrs. James for taking the time and spending a fantastic afternoon with our CMS students.
