Clovis Municipal School District - Clovis, NM 88101

“I am absolutely convinced that student performance is about expectations - those we have for our students and equally as important, those we have for ourselves.” ~ Terry Myers, CMS Superintendent. "We are the proud 6th graders who were having so much fun throughtout the past several weeks, we didn't even realize we had learned SO much!" ~ Nicolas, 6th grader at Ranchvale Elementary. "Be the one that makes your family, your school, and your community proud." ~ Wayne Marshall, CHS Principal. "Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life and not something you do in your spare time." ~ Marian Wright Edelman. On the last day of school at La Casita Elementary, having just distributed student summer reading logs, Principal Dr. Martinez asked students what their summer plans were; 1st grader, Angel, shouted, "LEER!" ["Read!" in English]. "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." ~ Henry B. Adams. "Remember who you are and where you come from; you will always be a Wildcat. Don't let the world decide who you will be; you decide who you will be." ~ Wayne Marshall, CHS Principal. "Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten." ~ B.F. Skinner "CHS graduation was great! Our senior speakers gave some of the top speeches I've heard!" ~ Pam Cornelison, CHS Head Counselor. "The greatest sign of success for a teacher…is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'" ~ Maria Montessori. "Teaching isn't the 3 months you get out of it, it is the 9 months you put into it!" ~ Sylvia Martinez, Ph.D., Principal, La Casita Elementary. "It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts…it is to teach them to think." ~ Robert Hutchins. "Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education." ~ Charlotte Bronte. In an aside to a new student: "Don't ever say anything is too hard in here; Mrs. Hedeman (Zia Elementary gifted teacher) will say we can DO hard things!" ~ Jocelyn, 3rd grader.

Summer Reading
by Cindy Kleyn-Kennedy

May 24, 2013: The last day of school is here, and the time has come for a well-deserved break for students and staff who have worked hard during the past school year.

It is also time once again for our CMS 2013 Summer Reading Program. The program began last year, with the overarching goal of supporting students’ literacy skills during summer months, a period during which learning loss may occur. It was enormously successful last summer, with students - accompanied by their parents - dropping by the district’s Central Office to collect and turn in completed Reading Logs.
