🔵🟡🔴 CMS Celebrated International Dot Day! 🟢🟣🟠

Yesterday, Culpeper Middle School joined students around the world in celebrating International Dot Day, a day all about creativity, courage, and making your mark!

Our Cougars embraced the spirit of the day by celebrating creativity and remembering that sometimes something as simple as a single dot can be the beginning of something amazing. 🎨✨

Keep creating, keep trying, and keep making your mark, Cougars! 🐾

🐎 CMS FFA Goes Behind the Scenes at Colonial Downs! 🏇

CMS FFA traveled to New Kent, VA, for an exciting behind-the-scenes tour of Colonial Downs! Students had the rare opportunity to speak with horse industry professionals, including veterinarians, jockeys, starting gate officials, and more.

Members toured the barns, where the facility can house up to 800 horses during peak racing season, before heading to the Grand Box seats to watch the horses warm up, prepare, and race. They even visited the track and Winner’s Circle!

It was an unforgettable, front-row experience for our FFA members interested in careers in the horse and racing industries! 🐴🏆
