CMS Students Adopt A PatientThe students at Calhoun Middle School will again be adopting a patient from the
Minnie Hamilton Long Term Care Unit for Christmas. Each homeroom will adopt a patient and students will bring in items for
their patient's package. A list of items needed was sent home with students last week. If you did not receive a list, please
contact Tammey Webb or Linda Edwards at Calhoun Middle School. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all
parents and students for their participation and support of this very worthwhile project.
Read To Me Day
Calhoun Middle School participated in the Seventh Annual Read to Me day on November 15, 2001. The Read to Me
goal was to ensure that every child was read to for at least twenty minutes on that day. Parent volunteers and classroom
teachers read to approximately 400 students. Some classes focused on poetry while others focused on books pertaining to
their content area.
Mr. Stump's Social Studies classes read an anthology titled A Father's Complaint to enhance the study of ancient
Mesopotamia. Mrs. Jarvis's Language Arts classes read Running Out of Time to introduce the author Margaret Peterson
Haddix. Mrs. Huff read Shel Silverstein poems to her computer classes.
Title 1 would like to extend a very special thanks to the parent volunteers who came to read to the students: Norma
Myers, Linda Simmons, Lori Cook, and Becky Cooper. They did a terrific job!
