In memory of a Boone County schools kindergartener, Sophia,  who passed from Leukemia, Conner Middle created a service learning project about Leukemia and are raising money in her name as part of the Hero Project.  Each class is collecting or you can donate online – at https://events.lls.org/pages/soh/Conner-Middle-School-2021.  Plus – we are selling shirts which proceeds from the sale will go to the Leukemia Society. The link to purchase the shirts is https://cmsbenefit2021.itemorder.com/  Order by next Friday.

Help us reach out school goal of $6000 - $1000 for every year Sophia was with us. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented our community with many complex challenges, including how we will safely educate our 21,000 students. The priority of safely and effectively educating our students must be balanced with the safety of our 3,600 employees and also the financial impact of the pandemic on jobs and our families.

While we cannot eliminate risks altogether, we believe that by following the state and federal guidance listed above we can together significantly reduce the risk of potentially spreading COVID-19 on our campuses. Doing so, however, will require a shared commitment by each of us to take care of ourselves, our families, and everyone in our schools.
