A Message from Our Superintendent

October 2024

Dear Bears,

Fall is in the air! Our Cloudcroft Bears have been very busy and it will not be changing anytime soon. Sports, Sports, Sports! Please come out and support our Bears. All of the athletic schedules are on our website at www.cmsbears.org. We had some exciting sports action last month. Our Lady Bears Volleyball Team won the Mountain Top Tournament again this year!! They played hard and it paid off. We also had our home Cross Country Meet which hosted nine teams. It was a great success!!

We also had one of our most interactive Constitution Days last month. Our Senior History Class were the presenters with a lot of interactive stations and had to wear many hats when presenting from kindergarten to eleventh graders. They did an incredible job!

The Cloudcroft High School FCA hosted over 65 students and fans at 5th Quarter after one of the Bear football games last month. The food was provided by the Cloudcroft First Baptist Church. It was a great time with good food and fellowship.

The Elementary and Middle School hosted their Level Up Literacy Assembly with Ricky the Roadrunner and Ralph the Reader. It was a fun and interactive time to encourage students to Level Up their literacy scores.

Level up, do your best, and become a superhero reader!

We would like to showcase some of our Seniors Capstone Projects. We are very excited to have initiated this program with the Class of 2025. They are doing a great job and will be leaders for the next classes to come.
