The Board of Education and Interim Superintendent Monique Felder have stated that they are considering an increase in class size, among other budget adjustments under consideration, in order to meet the FY 2025 operating budget parameters set by the County Council.  We need to decrease—not increase—class sizes, which already are too large.  

If you agree, please sign the letter linked here to make clear that the Board should not increase class size as a way to address the budget shortfall.

This letter will be shared to the Board of Education on Tuesday, June 4th.  If you are inclined to sign, please do so before Tuesday.

Thank you,

CJMS PTA

The Churchill Field Hockey team is hosting a field hockey skills clinic for students currently in 3rd-8th grades, from any school. The clinic will be held at Churchill on Saturday, June 8, from 9-11am, is open to players of all levels including true beginners (we love beginners!), and costs $20.

Current Churchill varsity team members will lead the skills instruction. Participants will need shinguards, a mouthguard, a water bottle, and a stick (we have a limited number of sticks available if you’d like to borrow one).

We also have a limited amount of goalie equipment available if anyone is interested in trying goalie. Borrowing equipment is free, but requires letting us know ahead of time on the sign up form. We will collect payment by check on the day of the clinic.

Please make the $20 check out to WCHS Booster Club and write ‘field hockey’ in the memo. Cash is also possible, but checks help us to keep track of things more easily.
