"Mrs. Grandstaff, can I play a song I wrote?" I exclaimed, "ABSOLUTELY!" with the most enthusiastic smile. The student started to play their composition. Other students in her section wanted to see and hear what she was playing. These are the authentic music moments that matter.

Some of Cecil Intermediate’s students are preparing their remote controlled vehicles. Today, students soldered wires together and made their motors waterproof! Great job today! @CISCMSD @canon_mac

6th grade, Cecil Intermediate math students made a clock where the numbers are replaced with equations! Each student was given a kit to put together a working clock. @CISCMSD @canon_mac

The CIS Blue Band earned a SUPERIOR rating at their adjudication at Duquesne University today, then got to have some fun at Kennywood! Great job to all of the musicians, and thank you to their teacher, Mrs. Grandstaff! @canon_mac @bigmacband

What Field Day would be complete without the Tug o War?? There were some hard fought battles, but Mrs. Sovich’s class came out on top in 5th grade, and Mrs. Schrag’s class was the 6th grade winner. Will they repeat? Tune in next year! @canon_mac @bethanyschrag @MandySovich
