Caney Valley Middle School Information 4-27-2020
Packet Turn In
Packets can be turned in at any time from now until May 8th. I have placed a file cabinet at the entrance of the high school gym. Please think of everyone’s safety and wear gloves if possible or germ x and wash your hands before and after opening the drawers.
MS Awards Assembly
We are currently in the process of setting up a virtual assembly. Details coming soon.
Locker Clean Out and Athletic Content Pickup
We are still waiting on when things will open up. My estimate would be mid-May. The 6th and 7th graders will have the same locker next year so it is always an option to leave supplies in the student's locker.
Online Enrichment
This is for the students that want to get better and learn more. If you are currently finished with all assignments and want to improve yourself in an area or learn more below are several free sites that you can work on now or the rest of the summer.

Make a mask. If you use a bonded (not woven) interfacing, it also protects you.
My favorite mask is this one. The pattern is free on craftpassion.com and comes in 4 sizes. I like the way The Fabric Patch youtube makes the mask. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fySsaOojEVM&list=PLgT9Nnz8e44DpEhBl8-vGyznVdpak4rdM&index=18&t=0s
Supplies are limited, this Fabric Patch youtube gives great ideas for substitutions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8HNYKvlaN8&list=PLgT9Nnz8e44DpEhBl8-vGyznVdpak4rdM&index=18
I have used ribbing for elastic (1” strips then stretch it out) and the wider elastic for children and the elderly with it going around their head.
A bias tape maker makes ties very easy to make.
6” of elastic with buttons sewn on each end with the shank method help save the ears.
