Ford Drive For Your School Event

The following message is from Mr. Gilkey, 6th grade social studies teacher and volleyball coach:

The Swim Booster and Cross Country Boosters are once again teaming up for the Ford Drive 4 UR School event.  We are hoping that you can make it on Saturday, May 16 between 9:00 and 2:00 to Cambria Elementary school.  It only takes about 15 minutes. You show up, fill out a brief questionnaire and drive the Ford of your choice and Ford gives us $20. No sales pitch. No pressure. No cost to you. There are light refreshments and chances to win prizes.

Please try to block off 15 minutes on the 16^th to support us.

Hope to see you there!

Greater Johnstown Young Artists Exhibit

Last night at the Community Arts Center in Westmont, three CCMS students were awarded blue ribbons and a small cash prize in the “Greater Johnstown Young Artists Exhibit.”  With their selections, Central Cambria took 3 of the 6 available awards for their age group! Their work will remain on exhibit with many other student works from the region through May 29th.  Thank you to Mr. Dumm for his tremendous work with our art program.

Math 24 & First In Math

Over the course of this school year, Mrs. Stevens, our district's math coach, has organized a Math 24 competition among our elementary and middle school students.  Additionally, she has spearheaded the implementation of First in Math, an online math practice site which includes a variety of practice problems for students.  All CCMS students have had access to the site this year.  Jackson Elementary, Cambria Elementary, and Central Cambria Middle School held internal Math 24 competitions to determine students from each grade level who would compete at the regional competition.  Yesterday, the winners of those contests competed at a regional competition hosted by the Appalachian Intermediate Unit.  We had several students at the elementary and middle school level reach the semifinals.  Mark Losey, representative from First In Math, came to CCMS to acknowledge our students' outstanding performance on the First In Math site.  He gave awards to our top performers in each grade level, and gave the 6th grade students a pep talk since CCMS stood out among the many districts that he works with.  These were great opportunities organized by Mrs. Stevens, and we thank her for her work with our kids.
