Veteran’s Day Celebration

On Tuesday, November 11th, Castle North Middle School honored the men

and women of our armed forces with a heartwarming, student led program

organized by the sixth-grade Social Studies team. Mrs. Salley and her sev-

enth-grade FACS classes arranged an excellent reception with cookies and

punch for the veterans before the program. Our distinguished guests exited

the reception to a heroes’ welcome through the halls of CNMS. Our Trouba-

dours sang “America the Beautiful” led by Mrs. Hogan followed by a welcome

from Mr. Bertram. After the Pledge of Allegiance, the eighth-grade band

played “The Star-Spangled Banner” directed by Mr. Dailey. Sixth-grade stu-

dents led most of the program which included a visual presentation of a Re-

membrance Table. Seventh-grade students, Lexis Collins and Kayla Oxley,

lead a contributory reading for our guests. Jordan Miller, also a seventh-

grade student, created a beautiful painting that was given to Veteran Jeff

Moffett in celebration of his service to our country. The program concluded

with a medley of the armed forces’ fight songs, and a musical, poster tribute

from the seventh-grade Blue Team and Mrs. Hogan. Finally, Abdullah Atia

and Alexander Hagan closed the ceremony by playing “Taps.”

Thank you to all those who participated in making this celebration a success!

Most of all, a huge thank you to all those who attended our ceremony, and to

all those who have served to preserve our freedoms as American citizens! At

CNMS, we are proud to be Americans!

Studying the Indus River Valley

Mrs. Fussner's 7th grade Social Studies class has been studying the Indus River Valley. The students learned about

meditation and how meditation developed in to yoga during the ancient period of this civilization. Mrs. Carrie Rice, for-

mer teacher at CNMS and friend of Mrs. Fussner, came to CNMS to give the students a hands-on opportunity to ex-

plore yoga for themselves. The students had a great time trying some of the yoga moves and most importantly learning

how to relax.
