Mrs. Evans’ 7th grade students showcased their artistic and mathematical talents through a similarity project. In mathematics, similarity refers to two shapes having the same shape and angles but different sizes. Similar figures have corresponding angles that are equal and corresponding side lengths that are proportional (sharing a constant ratio). The students did a great job!

As part of Literacy Week, all CAMS students were treated to an assembly with New York Times best selling author, Maria Scrivan.
Ms. Scrivan has written a middle-grade graphic novel series about Natalie, a girl who feels she isn't athletic, stylish, or talented enough, especially after her best friend starts to drift away in middle school. The series follows Natalie's journey of self-discovery as she navigates friendships, learns to embrace her own talents, and realizes she is more than enough just as she is. CAMS students asked the author fantastic questions, got her autograph, and watched how she illustrates some of characters!
