The CVMS band is joining the Canyon View High Band to sponsor a Band Carnival on Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the high school. There will be band performances by students in grades sixth through 12th, instruments to try, rental/sale information from Summerhays Music and Cedar Music Store, inflatables for kids, pizza and other entertainment. This should be a great musical evening for families.
Our choirs will perform Wednesday at 5 p.m. in the auditorium.
Orchestra II attended the Performing Arts Festival at Desert Hills High School, on Monday.
Our student council did a great job with Spirit Week. We appreciate all their efforts to increase our school spirit through some great activities.
Congratulations to our co-ed basketball team that defeated Cedar Middle School on Feb. 10.
One of our teachers, Sharon Wasden, and her daughter, Anna, an eighth-grader, got to experience the “Snowmageddon” in Washington, D.C. firsthand. They were there with the Utah Safety Coalition. Although the snow altered some of their plans, they still enjoyed their meetings and had a private tour of the Capitol building by Sen. Bob Bennett’s, R-Utah, office as well as a tour of the White House.
Our eighth-grade students begin their writing assessments this week. Good luck.

The MathCounts Region competition was held in St. George at Dixie College on Feb. 5. Competing against 14 other regional schools, our A team – Josh Palmer, Riley Wilson, Matthew Stewart and Greyson Hulet – took second place overall. We had two students place in the top 10 high scores and a few who came very close. Palmer came home with two individual trophies, and Wilson came home with one other individual trophy. CMS was given a trophy to represent these students to put in the display case. In all, we came home with eight trophies and one plaque. Others who participated were Madeline Bertoch, Jaren Forsyth, Seth Palmer and Kole Dotson. We are very proud of the hard work these students do and how well they represented our school.
