We would like to give a special shout-out to **Mr. Porter** and his wonderful vegetable garden! Mr. Porter has worked hard to create a beautiful garden that is already flourishing with healthy plants and vegetables. His dedication, patience, and love for gardening are evident in every row.

Mr. Porter takes great pride in caring for the garden, and we are proud to have him share his passion with our school community. The garden serves as a great learning opportunity for our students, teaching them about responsibility, healthy eating, and where our food comes from.

🎓✨ **A Night to Remember!** ✨🎓

Last night, we celebrated our amazing 8th graders at our annual 8th Grade Banquet! It was an evening filled with laughter, memories, friendship, and recognition as we honored the accomplishments of the Class of 2026.

Our students enjoyed a special night together as they reflected on their journey at CSMA and looked ahead to the exciting opportunities that await them in high school. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved and the growth they have shown throughout the years.

A heartfelt thank you to our staff, families, and everyone who helped make this event such a success. Your support and dedication helped create a memorable evening for our students. A special shout-out to Ms. Leonard for pulling it all together, and to Miss Williams for decorating the centerpieces and giving a sentimental touch to the students.

To our 8th graders: Continue to dream big, work hard, and believe in yourselves. Once a Knight, always a Knight! 🛡️💙
