It was 8th grade night for the girls' softball team recently. We appreciate their commitment to the Lady Raider softball team!
Cape Canaveral may not have had their rocket launch today, but the 5th grade rocket launches were successful! In our new math curriculum, each unit provides exploration in STEM careers. Unit 1 explored aerospace engineering. The 5th graders took their turn engineering straw rockets today. The farthest launch went 126 inches!

Cumberland 5th grade students and parents/guardians:
This is just a friendly reminder that we will have 5th grade orientation on Wednesday, August 17 from 6-7 pm. Please do NOT bring extra people or supplies with you as our space will be kind of crowded and you won't have time to put your supplies away this evening! If you cannot make it, that's totally fine. We just wanted to give you a taste of the awesomeness that awaits you in 5th grade! Go Raiders!
Due to scheduled maintenance, the District's phone lines will be down for about an hour today beginning around 10 AM. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Picture day for Cumberland schools will be Tuesday, August 23. You may order your photos at https://inter-state.com/order. Forms will also be sent home.
