Last Friday, 7th graders at Clara Brownell Middle School enjoyed a sweet treat! CBMS held a two-week attendance competition where 7th and 8th grade went head-to-head to see which group could have the fewest tardies. 7th grade finished with 79 total tardies (.9% tardy rate), while 8th grade had 121 total tardies (1.3% tardy rate). With the lowest rate, 7th grade came out on top and celebrated with cookies and hot chocolate at lunch, served by their teachers!

El viernes pasado, los estudiantes de séptimo grado de Clara Brownell Middle School disfrutaron de un dulce premio. CBMS realizó una competencia de asistencia de dos semanas entre los grados para ver quién tenía menos tardanzas. Séptimo grado terminó con 79 tardanzas en total (tasa de tardanza del .9%), mientras que octavo grado tuvo 121 tardanzas (tasa del 1.3%). Con la tasa más baja, séptimo grado ganó la competencia y celebró con galletas y chocolate caliente durante el almuerzo, servidos por sus maestros.
