graduation ceremony. This week, seniors were made aware of their
fines. Please pay them as soon as possible.

college, we must have a stamped envelope addressed to the college

seniors. Final transcripts will not be mailed to your child’s
college or university until we have the envelope.

Special Olympic Spring Games
We are so excited to share with you photos of the Special
Olympic Spring Games that began on April 29th. It kicked off with
the Opening Ceremonies where our Extension students were the
drummers playing “We Will Rock You!” They worked hard all year with
our Band Director and Butler Teacher of the Year, Matt Dowell. Our
Unified Club also assisted with the presentation of the flag and
were selected as the CMS Unified Champion School of the Year! The
Spring Games Competition took place at Charlotte Country Day
School. We had numerous athletes competing in track and field
events as well as a United Softball Team! We won both Unified
softball games against Rocky River and Garinger and received the
gold medal! We did amazing at Track and Field with a myriad of
individual and 4x1 relay golds, silvers, bronzes and 4th place
ribbons. Congratulations to everyone!

Student/Faculty Basketball Game
Our annual Students vs. Faculty Basketball Game had a little
twist this year. In the past, the students played against the
faculty in the ultimate showdown (in which the faculty maintained
an undefeated record of 21-0, not that we’re bragging)! This year,
however, we were approached by Power 98 FM and the DRIP Tour to see
if they could be the opposing team. The DRIP Tour, which stands for
Do Right Initially Period, has visited sev-eral other CMS schools
this year to talk about making the right choices the first time
because we don’t always get a second chance. Sport E. Odie and
Power 98 FM announced the game. Unfortunately, we lost to the DRIP
Tour, but the faculty feels their undefeated record still stands
because they didn’t actually play against the students! To be
continued next year ...
