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.

The clinic will take place at the Rockville Ice Arena, 50 Southlawn Court, Rockville, MD, on

• Tuesday, May 14, 4:30-5:30pm, and 
• Wednesday, May 15th, 4:40-5:40pm
• (Please note the time difference between the two days.)

All ice hockey players currently in grades 6, 7, and 8, who live in the Churchill High School cluster are invited.  This includes students at Hoover Middle School, Cabin John Middle School, Home-schooled students, and students at independent schools considering WCHS as a possible high school option.

The clinic includes:

• An hour of on-ice time with current Churchill coaches and players
• Pizza and drinks afterwards
• Q&A session for parents and players with both the club head coach and the club director
• A special gift for all the players!

Designed for both players and parents, this clinic offers a unique experience to learn about the WCHS ice hockey program, the Maryland High School Hockey League, the similarities and differences between house, travel and high school hockey, and how best to prepare for a high school hockey career.

The Club covers the full cost of the ice time, however there is a minimal charge of $10 (which covers both days), the purpose of which is to help ensure once a player signs up that he or she actually attends.
