We are proud to recognize Cab Calloway School of the Arts Philadelphia Regional History Bee Champion!

Congratulations to 6th grade piano major, Jeremiah R., who won first place in the Philadelphia Regional History Bee over spring break, and will go to the National History Bee from June 1-4 in Atlanta, Georgia. He placed first in the Philadelphia region (DE, southern PA, southern NJ, part of MD). The competition was 4-5 hours, and he answered 45 questions on world and American history. This was a competition of about 200 mostly 6th and 5th graders.

The CCSA/CSW Robotics Team had a fine trip to Kentucky and back, over spring vacation. Our team were exemplary sportsmen, working well together and managing challenges.   This team is only in its second year, and we were honored to be invited to an international tournament, featuring team from 40 countries, and competing with 564 other teams.

Highlights from the Vex World Robotics Championships will play on CBS on Sunday, June 11 @ 2pm.  The 6 Finalists were 3 Chinese teams, 2 American teams, and 1 Canadian team.

Hoada W. was also a member of the team but unable to attend the tournament, and was responsible for a lot of the computer programming that got the team to this international event.

CSW Parent Deb Sarver and Cab Teacher Chaperone Margaret Badger were happy to drive and chaperone this team.

 “The All School Exhibition” opening reception is this Thursday, April 13 from 5-7pm in the Cab Gallery.  The exhibition is currently being hung and will feature all classes from Middle School Visual Arts, and High School Visual and Digital Communication Arts artwork from throughout the year.

On Tuesday, April 4^th, all Cab Calloway Middle School Students assembled in the Cab Calloway School of The Arts Theater for the Most Valuable Performer (MVP) assembly.  This assembly is an opportunity for teachers to recognize remarkable contributions from an individual student in each of their classrooms.

Not meant as a recognition of the highest average for the marking period, rather this is a chance to recognize a student who may not get the solo or the award each day, however they demonstrate real commitment to the subject area and represents Cab Calloway School of the Arts admirably.

These students may make their teacher’s day brighter, or that they work incredibly hard each day, or perhaps they assist their peers whenever they see someone struggling.  It allows teachers an opportunity to let their students know that their efforts have not gone unnoticed.  The MVP ceremony occurs quarterly and has been organized and is led by Dr. Michelle Morton.
