CPMS Band & Drama Announce Date Changes
Cedar Park’s winter band concert has moved to Wed, Feb. 20. Grade 6 and 7 will perform at 6 p.m. Grade 8 and the Jazz Band will perform at 7 p.m. This change will allow 8th grade families to attend the Beaverton & Sunset High School curriculum nights being held on Feb. 21.
Cedar Park Onstage’s One Act Festival has moved to Friday, March 15th due to impending inclement weather. More info to come soon.
Support the Beaverton Middle School Music Festival
The festival was originally going to be funded though the district Fine Arts budget, but due to budget cuts, middle school band programs will have to raise the money on their own with help from the community. BEF (Beaverton Education Foundation) is doing a matching gift challenge for the first 96 hours (will end Saturday at noon). That will make it so even small donations will be impactful.
Attending a band festival is an amazing educational opportunity every music student should experience. Students will hear bands from other schools, be scored on their performance and receive clinics from professional band adjudicators. This experience will motivate students to grow as musicians and will build community through music.
Funding will pay for buses, substitute teachers, and professional band judges and will allow all of our BSD middle school advanced bands to attend.
Buses-$1,000
Teacher Substitutes- $2,000
Festival Judges-$1,000
Total: $4,000
Don’t miss this opportunity to support positive experiences in our middle school.
College Pennants Grace CPMS Halls Courtesy of Ms. Trisha Parks
8th grade Humanities teacher, Trisha Parks, has been diligently sprucing up our schools hallways with college pennants from colleges within Oregon and neighboring states. Post high school success is the overall goal for the Beaverton School District. Students are engaged and curious about the various post-secondary education options available to them.
Ms. Parks has organized most of the pennants by state, creating excellent displays throughout our halls. THANK YOU, Ms. Parks, for keeping Cedar Park awesome!
13 Cedar Park Students Selected for District Honor Band
13 Cedar Park 8th graders participated in the District Honor Band on Jan. 11 and 12. These students were selected through an audition process and got to work with a guest conductor for two days with a culminating performance.
Bravo to our awesome musicians!
YOUR MONEY AT WORK– 7th Grade Explores OMSI's King Tut Exhibit
Nearly 400 seventh graders discovered the mystery and awe of ancient Egypt, thanks to the fall fundraising effort of the Cedar Park community.
Students and chaperones braved the MAX and headed to OMSI this January for a fun-filled day of science exhibits, OMSI's current Egyptian history exhibit, and a documentary at OMSI's Empirical Theater. These exhibition fit in nicely with the 7th grade ancient civilizations unit.
Massive thanks to all who donated to our 5K effort that made this opportunity possible. Another shout out is due to the over 50 community volunteers that turned out to chaperone our angelic minions.
