The Discoverer Den is the school store operated by the CMS Student Council. CMS students can purchase many different items such as candy, school supplies, small toys, and Discoverer Gear using "Discoverer Bucks." Students earn Discoverer Bucks by being Respectful, Responsible, Safe, and Kind. The line is always really long with students who are excited to spend their hard-earned Discoverer Bucks! If you are interested in supporting the Discoverer Den with donations, please reach out to Ms. Harms or Ms. Nilson.
Voters, have you returned your survey?
In September, CPS mailed a survey to all registered voters who submitted a ballot in the May 9th special bond election. This survey is the first step of many to determine a new solution to address the needs of Columbus Public Schools. If you have not yet returned your survey we ask that you please do so by Friday, October 20th.
