The Ram Reminder - March 16 - 20, 2026
Good evening, CMHS Parents, Caregivers, Students and Guardians,
Congratulations to our Senior Boys Basketball team for capturing the City Championship banner last weekend. It was an incredible game that came down to the final seconds. With less than ten seconds remaining, the team hit a three-point basket and then held strong defensively to secure the win. I couldn't agree more with one of our parents as she called it a real "nail biter." It was an exciting and memorable way for our athletes to close out their season.
Athletics continue to play an important role in the culture of our school. There is something special about seeing a new championship banner raised in the gymnasium. Recently, four of our City Championship banners from the 2023-2024 season (Sr Football, Sr Boys Rugby, Sr Girls Rugby, and Sr Girls Field Hockey) were raised and are now proudly displayed. Moments like these celebrate not only athletic success, but also the dedication, teamwork, and perseverance of our student athletes and coaches.
Our wrestling team is also competing at the provincial championships today and tomorrow, and we are sending them our energy and support as they represent our school.
Sports have played a significant role in my own life, and one of the great joys of being in a school is watching student athletes grow and mature through their experiences on teams. Athletics provide opportunities for young people to develop resilience, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
I would also like to thank the many parents who take the time to share messages about the positive impact our teacher-coaches are having on students. Those words mean a great deal. Recently, a parent wrote to express deep appreciation for a teacher and coach who has supported their child not only as an athlete but as a young person, encouraging hard work, accountability, and belief in himself. The parent shared how mentorship from a coach has helped their child grow in confidence and develop a stronger attitude toward school and life.
Stories like this remind us that coaching is about far more than wins and losses. It is about mentorship, relationships, and helping young people become the best version of themselves. We are grateful for the many staff members who dedicate and volunteer their time and energy to supporting students both in and out of the classroom.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and our programs. 🏀 🏆
I am looking forward to Dance Central next week.
