💰 Do not pass GO, do not collect $200—unless you’re in Mrs. Knutson’s class!
Some of our elementary students had a blast practicing their skills with the 🎲 classic game of Monopoly. The best part? Mrs. Knutson’s husband stepped in as the 🏦 banker, making the experience even more memorable!

🚶➡️🏞️ Our #CSDGoBeavers 8th graders glided into adventure at the Chippewa Moraine!
They took a hike, learned about how glaciers form the land around them, played some ice-breaking voyager games, and even slithered out of their comfort zones by holding a snake! 🐍 What a cool way to learn about the forces that shaped our world! 🌍
The Natural Resource Management class received a clean perspective on how Cumberland tackles 💧 wastewater treatment!
📣 THANK YOU to Katie for guiding our #CSDGoBeavers students through the wastewater journey—from filtration, to being broken down by hardworking microorganisms, and finally returning to the Hay River. 🌊
Even with the unique aroma, the facility left quite the impression! 😅
Cumberland Middle School recently held its 2024 National Junior Honor Society Induction Ceremony. Students can qualify for this honor as an 8th-grade student by maintaining a 3.25 cumulative grade point average and committing to complete 10 hours of community service each year.

🇺🇸 Mrs. DePatto’s dad, a veteran of the Navy, spent the morning with our #CSDGoBeavers kindergarteners!
They learned about what a veteran is, why we honor them and are thankful for them, and also about his time on a submarine! They couldn’t believe he would be underwater for up to three months at a time and that a submarine could even emerge in the North Pole!
📣 Thank you Mr. Silverberg for your service and your time spent with some of our youngest Beavers!! They learned so much and are so grateful!!

Lettuce tell you about these budding gardeners! 🌱
Earlier this month, our #CSDGoBeavers kindergartners teamed up with their high school agriculture buddies to plant lettuce seedlings in a Flex Farm, generously provided by the Cumberland Educational Foundation. It was harvest day, and they were thrilled to deliver their homegrown lettuce to the school kitchen—just in time for some fresh additions to hot lunches! 🥗🥬
High School Principal and Marine Veteran, Mr. Hopkins, visited our #CSDGoBeavers fifth graders to share about Veterans Day!
It was a meaningful experience as students listened to his stories from his time in service. 🇺🇸
💙💛 Three Cumberland FFA members including Avery Johnson, Miya Lehman, and Braelynn Albrecht, joined nearly 73,000 others at the National FFA Convention last week in Indianapolis, Indiana!
They attended the expo, as well as convention sessions, a leadership training, and toured farms and a crop research center.

Our 8th graders are putting in hard work on their Patriot’s Pen essays for the VFW ✏️ writing contest!
This year’s prompt, “My Voice in America’s Democracy,” has sparked thoughtful responses. Students have been collaborating by reviewing and providing feedback to their peers, sharpening their writing skills along the way. ✍️🇺🇸

🧈🥞 Our 5th graders really churned out some fun in science!
After making butter and buttermilk, they turned their hard work into delicious homemade pancakes! YUM! 😋 Along with full bellies, they picked up some valuable life skills. 👏

🎨🦁 CES Artists Are "Roaring" with Creativity! 🐯🎨
Both 2nd grade and Kindergarten have been hard at work crafting their ferocious tigers and lions! 2nd graders used fluorescent paint to bring their tigers to life, while Kindergarten’s colorful lions really ROAR with personality! 🖌️✨
Awesome job, CES artists—you’ve pounced on creativity!
Our #CSDGoBeavers FFA has been busy learning and growing in so many ways! Check out what they have been up to:
💙 Nearly two dozen Cumberland FFA members volunteered at the 2024 Food for America Program at the Jerome Farm in Barron. The Cumberland FFA joined forces with the Barron and Prairie Farm FFA Chapters to share the story of agriculture with all 4th graders in the Barron and Prairie Farm School Districts and all 6th graders in the Cumberland School District.
💛 Cumberland FFA had a team compete earlier this month at the Central National Dairy Cattle Evaluation Contest hosted at the World Dairy Expo in Madison. Those attending included: Mrs. Grewe (Assistant FFA Advisor), Carter Fauske, Miya Lehman, and Caylin Schultz.
💙 Two Cumberland FFA members Tani Riebe and Colbie Ladd, attended the FFA FIRE Leadership Conference at UW-River Falls.
💛 The Cumberland Flex Farms are off to a great start this school year! Thanks to the support of the Cumberland Education Foundation, students are growing their very own lettuce for the hot lunch program. This year, one of the Flex Farms was transported to the Elementary School. High school agriculture students are working with elementary students each week to help them manage their unit while learning about plants and food production.
Our #CSDGoBeavers Middle School Cross Country team 🏃♂️🏃 had an excellent 2024 season!
They had their final meet in Cameron, where three runners 🏅medaled: Jovina was 4th, Riley was 9th, and Adelyn was 11th. Two other runners were close to medaling: Daisy came in 15th place, and Leo was 13th. 🎉 WAY TO GO runners!!
To celebrate, on their drive home they made a stop for treats. They also celebrated again to wrap up their season by enjoying 🍕 pizza, handing out individual awards, and playing one last game. Thank you runners for a great season!!

🕰️ History coming alive for our #CSDGoBeavers 5th graders!
Our fifth graders had an incredible time at Fort Folle Avoine, where they learned all about the Fur Trade! They enjoyed stepping back in time and imagining what life was like during that era. It was a fun and educational experience for everyone! 😊
