The Bulldogs summer basketball camp at Churchill is back for year 7. The camp is hosted by the 3-time 4A South Division, 2-time 4A West Regional champion, and 2022 4A State Finalist Boys Head Coach Dave Blumenthal, along with other staff and current players.
We will be holding FOUR weeklong sessions this summer. Camp sessions will run June 22-26, June 29-July 2, July 13-17, and July 27-31. It’s a fun-filled week of basketball where the focus is developing the fundamentals of basketball, team work, sportsmanship and FUN. From one-on-one individual skill instruction, small-sided games, individual and team competitions and a weeklong season culminating with a championship at the end of the week. All campers will interact with everyone in group settings and skill work but will then be divided into groups of similar age and skill level during all games and competitions to ensure competitive balance and chances for success. Registration is now open to secure your child’s spot. Please visit our website for more information about the camp and how to register.
Should you have any questions or want more information about the camp and registration, please contact coach Blumenthal at CoachBlumenthalCamp@gmail.com
On February 5, 2026, MCPS Superintendent Dr. Thomas Taylor presented his recommended option for the Crown/Damascus Boundary Study to the Montgomery County Board of Education. Before the Board votes, it is important that our community understand the recommendations and provide comments.
What did MCPS recommend? Dr. Taylor recommended a modified Option H, and provided a non-recommended alternative (Option D) if the Board does not accept his recommendation.
What happens next? The Board of Education will take Dr. Taylor’s recommendation into consideration and will vote on a decision on March 26, 2026. Before the vote, the Board has an opportunity to make one or more motions to modify the options and also take public comment either via testimony or email. This means public input is important in these remaining weeks of the process.
What can I do? We encourage you to review the recommendation and advocacy from impacted elementary schools and high schools. We know there are a lot of positions within our CJMS community and it’s important you allow your voice to be heard.
Where can I learn more? For more information about Dr. Taylor’s recommendation, please see the following resources provided to the Board of Education:

Did you know that 2026 marks a century of national commemorations honoring Black history? Learn more here. This February, our community has come together to recognize Black History Month through meaningful programs celebrating culture, history, and the arts.
CJMS students took part in an engaging in-school “Jazz to Hip Hop” assembly sponsored by the PTSA. Through live performances and interactive activities, the program explored the roots, rhythms, cultural significance, and evolution of these influential musical genres. Students learned about key artists and important historical milestones while participating in hands-on experiences that highlighted the vibrant connection between jazz and hip hop. Families also participated in the 19th Annual Minds in Motion Black History Month Celebration, highlighting student talent and community diversity.
We encourage families to continue the celebration by attending the upcoming Scotland Annual Black History community event and taking part in another meaningful opportunity to honor local history, culture, and contributions together. The event will be held Saturday, February 28, 2026, from 2 – 5pm at the Scotland Neighborhood Recreation Center, 7700 Scotland Drive, Potomac, MD. Sponsored by the Montgomery County Recreation Department, this event highlights the history of the Scotland Community through a museum-style exhibit. Activities include special guest presentations, storytelling, books, arts and crafts and refreshments. This event is free for all ages. The presentation will start at 3:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend.
