Dear CSAMS Families,
This Thursday, CSAMS students will take the stage for our 24th annual unabridged Shakespearean production. Each year, this event reminds me of the power of high expectations and the importance of truly believing that middle school students are capable of far more than society often gives them credit for.
I am always amazed by how proud they are after accomplishing such a tremendously challenging task. I am confident that the reward would not feel nearly as meaningful if the task were easier. Students rise to the expectations we set for them—no matter how ambitious—when adults believe in their potential and provide them with a pathway to succeed.
If you have not yet experienced our production, I encourage you to attend. You are sure to be amazed and inspired, just as I am every single year.
Below I've outlined some important events taking place between now and Spring Break:
As you can see, there are several exciting opportunities to observe, first hand, the amazing experiences our students are bringing to life through their creativity, leadership and learning. I look forward to sharing some of these experiences with you over the days and weeks to come!
In partnership with you,
Dina Barnaby
We are excited to offer for the first time CSA District Athletics Middle School Spring Baseball. This team will be our school team playing in the Pinckney Hamburg Baseball League. To be eligible our CSA students 14U - players must have a birthdate of 5/1/2011 - 4/30/2014.
The Baseball season begins the week of April 20th and runs through the end of June. The team will practices two nights per week at the Merrill Baseball Fields in Hamburg. Currently, 14U practices are set up for Monday & Wednesday from 6:30PM-8:30PM but may change depending on volunteer coach availability. Games will primarily be held from 6:30PM- 8:30PM on Mondays/Wednesdays with the exception of a weekend game for Opening Day, and 14U may have Friday Nights under the lights games on the schedule.
A sports physical is due on the 1st day of practice for all participants who have not played a Fall or Winter sport this school year. Physical forms can be emailed to Emily Bargen at ebargen@csaschool.org. Transportation to practices/games will be required by parents as no school transportation is available at this time. This is a pay-to-participate school team offering and registration will be required with payment for those who make the roster. Once the Roster is complete team practice information can be found on the CSA Tandem District Calendar.

Winter Athletic Season Awards Night will be Monday, March 23rd, 6:00pm at CSAMS. CSAMS athletes and their families should meet in the gymnasium for cookies and refreshments and to hear from Mr. Stewart and Mrs. DeLorenzo. Then after that, individual teams will be breaking off into separate rooms for the presentation of team awards.
Please Note: All Winter sport uniforms must be turned into Mrs. DeLorenzo before Awards night.
It’s that time of year again. Applications for testing for our Academically Gifted Clusters for Middle School students are being accepted through Monday, March 23rd. The form can be downloaded HERE or picked up at the information wall board in the hub by Mrs. Marcum.
