One Good Thing:

Happy Bus Drivers & Bus Aides Appreciation Day!

Yesterday, we celebrated our incredible Camden Fairview bus drivers and bus aides! They start many of our students’ school days with a smile and give them a last wave at the end of the day.

Each day, our transportation team safely serves our community, covering routes from Chidester to Stephens and everywhere in between. Their dedication, patience, and care help ensure our Cardinals arrive ready to learn and return home safely.

From early mornings to late afternoons, they go above and beyond for our students and families. We are so grateful.

Join us in thanking our bus drivers and bus aides for all they do!

CFMS 4th Quarter Push - This Thursday, 4:30-6:00 PM

CFMS Families, we’re asking for your help because it really matters. ❤️🤍

Our students have been growing, learning, and building confidence all year long. We could not be more proud of every single one of them. We see their effort. We see their progress. We know who they are.

Now, it’s time for them to show the world. ✨

Before ATLAS testing begins on May 4-8, we’re reminding students of their potential with a strong 4th Quarter Push. We need your help to surround our Cardinals with encouragement, love, and belief!

Join us Thursday, April 30, from 4:30–6:00 PM at CFMS to help fill our affirmation posters with messages that will lift our students up as they begin ATLAS testing. Speak life into them. Remind them who they are. Let them feel the strength of their community behind them.

If you can’t make it Thursday evening, please stop by Friday during school hours to add your message of support. 

🤫 Help us keep it a surprise for our students. We can’t wait for them to walk in on Friday and feel all the love!

With your help, when our students walk into those classrooms, they won’t walk in alone. They’ll carry your words with them. ❤️🤍


📚 ATLAS Testing: May 4–8: ATLAS is an opportunity for our students to show their growth and reflect all the hard work they’ve put in this year.
You can help set them up for success by encouraging them to try their best and stay confident. It’s also important to make sure they:

  • Get plenty of sleep the night before
  • Eat a healthy breakfast 
  • Are at school each day
  • Arrive by 7:50 AM, ready to test

🎉 Test Incentives: We’re celebrating effort and growth all week long!

😎 Popsicle Recess — for students who are at school before 8:00 AM every day May 4-7
🎉 Field Day — for students who reach their growth goal
🔜 More details coming next week!

Let’s finish strong, CFMS. Our students are ready. With your support, they’re unstoppable. 🫶
