Indiana’s Geography Bee

Tens of thousands of students participated in the school level

Geographic Bee nationally. Kunhai Shah was the winner of our

school wide bee and qualified for the Indiana Geographic

Bee. This places him in the top 1% of the nation's 4th-8th

grade students in terms of geographic literacy! During the April

4, 2014 Indiana Geographic Bee, he completed the preliminary

round qualifying for the tie breaker round. After the tie breaker round he tied

for 15th place for the state of Indiana. This was an

amazing accomplishment. The final 10 competitors

were 7th and 8th graders while Kunhai is a 6th graders

so we are sure to see great things from him in future

bees. Congratulations and great job, Kunhai!!

Mrs. Fussner & Mrs. Schaperjohn, Geography Bee

Spring Picture Day

Bring your smile on Wednesday,

April 16th for Spring pictures and

Parent Volunteers Needed

CNMS’ Honors Reception

The CNMS Honors Reception Night will be on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 at 7:00 PM in Gym A. Since this is a special

night, students may want to dress up a little more than their usual school attire but it is not required. Parents and fami-

ly members are invited. Students will receive additional information through the morning announcements about this

special event.

The list of this year’s recipients in on the last 3 pages of this newsletter.

A group picture will be taken of all honor students on Wednesday, April 16, 2014 on the same date as Spring pictures.

This photograph will need to be paid for on April 16th at the time of the picture taking. There will be an optional individu-

al picture offered, as well.

Penny Titzer, Counselor

Mr. Bertram addressing the Castle North Middle

School sixth grade during our "sixth grade only"

honor recognition for some of our outstanding stu-

dents who were successful in recent high-level

writing and geography competitions.

The Summer Slide

No, it is not a ride at Kings Island! It is what happens

when students do not read all summer. Research

shows that students that don’t read in the summer lose

about three grade levels from where they left off in the

spring. Scary, huh?

Attached to this newsletter is an order form for Scho-

lastic Books that you can order for your student to

read over the summer. These summer reading packs

are extremely discounted so that as many students as

possible can afford them. Please send the order form

with payment to Ms. Pearson on or before April 30,

2014 to ensure delivery before school is out.

Ms. Pearson, Librarian

Moving for Change!

Student Council will be hosting their last Moving

for Change activity will be running/walking on

is room 204, dressed and ready to go.

It is not too late to help! We are still in need of donations. In addition, if you would like to volunteer to help during the 3K event, we would greatly appre-ciate your help.

ISSMA Contests

Last weekend, the band student did a great job on

and off the stage. All three band groups earned

gold ratings and the 7th grade band earned gold

"with distinction."

The CN Troubadours also earned a gold rating at

this music contest.

We are all very proud of their performances and

their effort over the course of the school year to

achieve these results.

Also congratulations to their direc-

tors, Mrs. Kinney, Mr. Dailey, and

Ms. Dora!

Proud to be a musical Squire!
