Message for Middle School Parents and Students from Mrs. Keyser:
Good morning,
Since we have early dismissal on Friday, we are going to have a picnic outside for our lunch. If you order the tray from the cafeteria, you will still receive the grilled cheese, sun chips, fruit and other goodies along with a carton of milk. Your lunchroom supervisors will have these for you as you go out the 5th/6th grade doors by Mrs. Dryden/Mr. Edwards' rooms and 7th/8th grade doors by Mr. Princko's room. We can use the tents and other outdoor spaces and you may bring your own INDIVIDUAL towel or small blanket if you wish to do so. If you bring a lunch box from home, you will just take that outside with you. Our lunch times will be a little different in that we will have 5th/6th grade eat from 11:20-11:45 and 7th/8th grade will eat from 11:45-12:05. I think this will be a fun alternative to eating inside and hope the weather cooperates for us! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mrs. Stacy Keyser, Ed.S.
Cumberland Middle School Principal and Athletic Director

Cumberland Elementary and Middle School Birthday Celebrations
We are looking for donations to help pay for our monthly birthday celebrations for the 2021-2022 school year. Last year was the first year that the elementary school switched to having school-wide celebrations and they went over so well that the middle school is joining us this year. Having days set aside for school-wide celebrations allows all students to celebrate their birthdays equally and teachers are able to set aside time once a month for the celebrations rather than multiple times for individual parties.
If you would like to make a contribution and help sponsor the birthday celebrations, it would be greatly appreciated. It costs between $300-$400 each month for cupcakes or cookies that are purchased at local businesses. This year we will be creating a list of donors to publish along with a few pictures of the celebrations each month. Donations will be pooled together to sponsor the entire year rather than once a month donations like we did last year. If individuals or businesses would like to donate, please send a check to Cumberland Elementary and Middle School, 1496 IL Rt 121, Toledo, Illinois 62468. No donation will be too small. Anonymous donations will be kept anonymous and if you would like a receipt for tax purposes, please let us know.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please call 217-923-3132 or email us at dhuffman@cumberland.k12.il.us or skeyser@cumberland.k12.il.us.
We appreciate your continued support for our school. You will be helping our students feel so special on their special day!
Thank you,
Daniel Huffman
