CMASAS Assemblies

We had a wonderful turnout for our September Assembly. Shout out to Leo and Lilia who created an amazing presentation and moderated the event, which oriented new and continuing students to CMASAS in a fun and interactive way. This was a student-led assembly.

In February 2022, we had 120 students meet Nell and Nava (the great horned and northern pygmy owls). Peggy Cheatham, an Oregon, and federally trained/licensed wildlife rehabilitator (26 years) and basic wildlife care instructor, talked to us about wildlife rescue care with a focus on raptors.

Our first all-school assembly of the 2021- 2022 school year was in September. Our focus was orienting students to CMASAS and building community. This was a student led assembly.

In March 2021, New York Times Bestselling Author Mark Cheverton was our guest speaker. Mark Cheverton has written 24 action/adventure novels set in the digital realms of Minecraft for kids ages 8-13, and now has a young adult series called The Giants of Stonehold. His books have been published in 31 countries around the world, 20 languages, and have appeared on the New York Times Bestseller’s list with 2 million copies in print. Mark shared his fascinating journey with us.

In November 2020, we had 180 students attend our school assembly when NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) came to us! We learned about Amie Cantilo’s role with NASA and spacewalks. Amie Cantilo is the EVA Logistics Lead and manages all EVA hardware for the space suits, all the tools required to complete spacewalks, and helps maintain the suits on the International Space Station. Recently, she has started working on the planning for Artemis missions, which are going to the moon.
