Stunt Masters At Cushing! 

You Are Important!     

Stuntmasters visited Cushing Elementary on Friday, March 24th for an incredible outdoor assembly!  Our students were amazed by their acrobatic tricks of skill and bravery, while also learning about bicycle safety, teamwork, responsibility and character building.  Thank you to our PTO for organizing and funding this outstanding program!

Thank you to Ms. Martin, Mrs. Moon, Ms. Dunn and Dr. Sweeney for their hard work in organizing our monthly community meetings, and thank you to Mr. Mundt for lending his musical talents, leading us in our Cushing School song!
