Happy Pi Day!! These are a few pictures of our seventh graders learning about Pi Day before we got out for Spring Break! We hope you can find a circle today and ask your seventh grader the significance of it! Bring learning outside of the classroom as we wrap up spring break!
The Pi symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. (That's why it is celebrated on 3.14, March 14!) All circles no matter its size, have the same ratio-- Pi!

There were numerous people, both faculty and students, who tagged along to help make this endeavor a huge success! We are so grateful for those who take their time to support these students to make this a fun event! They returned to our campus with ribbons in hand as a reward for their hard work!

Tonight at Centenary, Mr. Budgewater directed the beginning choir as they sang three songs, and they were followed by the advanced choir . Each group was given valuable feedback by the guest clinician, Dr. Cory Wikan. Dr. Wikan is the Dean of Music at Centenary. He gave our CMS Choir immediate feedback and suggestions. The students were able to practice and improve on the spot. It was a great! Great job all around.




Our very own eighth grader, Carley Riley, was recognized tonight for her outstanding leadership, community involvement, and superior academics as Cope Middle's Student of the Year at the BP school board meeting this evening. We are so proud of her; she is just precious! She is one student that definitely represents the Cope Difference! Carley is also one that will lead the way in this world as she continues on her life's journey! Congratulations, Carley
