Cody Middle School

Dear CMS Families, On Friday, December 3rd, 10th, and 17th, CMS will be having a number of trained mental health professionals and counselors in the building to provide a youth suicide prevention program to students during Enrichment. Training youth in QPR suicide prevention is a challenging but necessary task to help prevent youth suicide. The QPR suicide prevention curriculum is framed within a broader context of mental health and wellness. Part of this curriculum teaches students how to respond to someone who may be struggling with a personal, family, or situational crisis. Training will be delivered in a highly structured and protected environment with adult supervision and follow-up. CMS Counselors will be available to meet with students following the training. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us. Thank you for your continued support of Cody Middle School!

Wrestlers from (CMS) Cody Middle School remain undefeated this season! Or Broncs rolled into to Laurel, MT this past weekend to take on the Locomotives and 13 other teams from around northern Wyoming and southern Montana. This tournament proved to be some of our best wrestling, facing some of the most challenging wrestlers we have seen thus far. However, the boys continue to dominate the competition. All in all, we had 27 of our 30 wrestlers place in the top 5, our most this season. Nine grapplers earned the top spot, while two came in second place. Five finished in third place, and three finished in fourth place. Five of our wrestlers ended the day in 5th place. Our wrestlers have improved tremendously this year. We have a solid crew of sixth-seventh and eighth graders finishing consistently in the top spots each and every week. The boys continue to use the skills we are developing in practice and look more comfortable each and every match. Our next meet is the Cody Quad Dual at home and the Conference Tournament in Thermopolis. Be sure to come out and support the boys next Tuesday November 30th as we host Powell, Worland and Thermopolis. Past Weeks Placers include: 1st Place Finishers-- Bobby Hernandez Kayson Grant Jonah Schulz Kort Sorensen Lance Baggs Tommy Sitz Gabe Grant Alex Sitz Charlie Becker 2nd Place Finishers-- Kannon Grant Darren Downer Israel Robertson Anker Stewart 3rd Place Finishers-- William Wood Owen Foley Cinch Dalton Ashten Hubbs Jayden Dinehart 4th Place Finishers-- Syrus Bates Chase Schubert Cohen Croft 5th Place Finishers-- Jake Martin Tevyn Bates Jaxson French Reed Deming 6th Place Place Finisher- Bryson Laing

Dear CMS Community, Today we celebrate Veterans Day, a day where we honor and give thanks to the brave men and women of our Armed Forces and military. The origin of Veterans Day dates back to World War I. On November 11, 1919, the world celebrated the armistice that officially ended World War I. Originally celebrated as Armistice Day, Veteran’s Day is now a national holiday where Americans pay tribute to all military servicemen and women. Throughout our Nation’s history, America’s soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and coast guardsmen have bravely answered the call to defend freedom and liberty. From the trenches of Europe, to the beachheads of Normandy, France, to the hilltops of the Korean Peninsula, to the jungles of Vietnam, and to the highlands and lowlands of the Middle East the dedicated men and women of our Armed Forces have been steadfast in their commitment and fight to bring freedom to all the corners of the earth. We can never fully repay our debt of gratitude to those American service members who have been wounded or died in battle. We can, however, recognize and thank the over 20 million veterans still living among us today. President John F. Kennedy once said, “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.” Cody Middle School thanks all of our Veteran's for their service!

Dear CMS Community, Each year the students of Park 6 School District hold a fundraiser to support our veterans in some capacity. This year’s project, ‘A Wave of Patriotism’, is two-fold. 1) The funds will be used to gift an American Flag to every downtown business so they can continue the long-standing tradition of flying an American Flag year around. 2) The second focus of our fundraiser is the engraving of Marine Lance Corporal Rylee McCollum’s name on the Freedom Memorial at the Wyoming Veterans Memorial Park. Rylee, who lived in Jackson, was one of the 13 American heroes that died in Afghanistan while assisting in evacuation efforts on August 26th of this year. How can CMS student body be a part of this "Wave of Patriotism"? The National Junior Honor Society has planned a fundraiser that will run Monday, October 25th through Friday, October 29th. How can YOU contribute: 1) Students are welcome to wear a hat on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and/or Thursday for $1. Donations will be collected by NJHS students outside of the Library/Media Center 2) Milk jugs with student grade levels will be placed in the library for students to donate any spare change. The grade level that raises the most money will get a prize in their Advisory classes on Tuesday. Last year CMS really showed its generosity by raising $1,832.99 for the Veterans Quilt project. Let's do it again!
