It's Wildlife Wednesday.

This week's animal oddity is the Tarsier.

Tarsiers are tiny primates found in Southeast Asia. These adorable animals are known for their enormous eyes; each of which are bigger than its whole brain! A unique feature of tarsiers is their ability to turn their heads almost 180 degrees in both directions. This means they can see all around them without moving their body. Tarsiers are only about the size of a human fist, making them some of the smallest primates in the world. They are also the only primates that are completely carnivorous, which means they eat only meat! Their hind limbs are about twice as long as their head and body combined. This special leg structure helps them jump and cling to trees. Tarsiers can jump 40 times the length of their own body. That is like a kid jumping the length of a school bus!

Welcome to another year of WILDLIFE WEDNESDAY.

This year we will explore the unique, the strange and mind blowing animals that are found worldwide.

Our first animal oddity is the OKAPI.

The okapi looks like someone tried to create a zebra, but ran out of stripes halfway through. Despite its zebra-like stripes, the okapi is actually the giraffe’s closest living relative. Okapis have extremely long tongues that can reach up to 18-inches long and they use them to clean their own eyelids and ears. Okapis have large ears that can rotate independently to detect predators in the thick forests of Central Africa. They also have oil-producing glands on their hooves that leave scent trails to help okapis communicate. Habitat loss and poaching have made okapis endangered, with fewer than 25,000 remaining in the wild.

Welcome back CMS families!
We're excited to welcome your student tomorrow for their first day of school at CMS!
Due to the short week we will be running a Friday schedule on both Thursday and Friday. That means students will attend all 7 periods each day - giving them a great opportunity to meet all their teachers and settle into their routines.
We can't wait to kick off another amazing year together.
Let's make it a great year!! 💚🖤

Beginning of the 2026-2027 school year we are moving to a new registration system for all sports and activities called Arbiter. We are very excited for this new stream line platform.

Every family will need to create a new log in for their family/athlete. All information that was in Big Teams will NOT be moved over to Arbiter. Unlike Big Teams, where the parent had to have an account and the athlete had to have a separate account and then link them. This is no longer the case. Your family and athlete will be on one account.

Registration is open today for all sports and activities. To register, families please click on the link below to register your athlete/activity. Scroll to the bottom and either selection Athletic registration or Activities registration.

If you have any questions or need help with this new platform, please call Arbiter at 1 (800) 311-4060 or email them at [email protected]
