Today in Mr. Odom's class, his 8th grade students are learning about Drag, aerodynamics, and center of gravity by building gliders and testing how far they go when they launch them!
We want to invite everyone to our Title 1 Curriculum Night on September 26th from
5:00pm-6:30 pm. You will have a chance to hear an update from Mr. Simmons about Cape Fear MS, and the growth the school is making. Progress Reports will be

Mr Odom applied for and received one of 25 grants given out nationwide to allow a team of our students to compete in the American Rocketry Challenge! The American Rocketry Challenge is the world’s largest rocket contest with nearly 5,000 students nationwide competing each year. The contest gives middle and high school students the opportunity to design, build, and launch model rockets. The hands-on experience reinforces engineering concepts. If our team's rocket qualifies, they will get the opportunity to travel to Virginia for National Launch Day where they could win up to $20,000 out of the $100,000 in prizes awarded each year. Go Grizzlies! #HOMEoftheGrizzlies
Our fall sports start very soon! #HOMEoftheGrizzlies

Parents, we are having an athletic interest meeting this Thursday, August 15th, at 5:30pm in the CFMS media center.
