Last Wednesday, CAAEP brought back an old tradition—Coffee with the Cops! ☕👮

Area police officers and law enforcement professionals joined our high school students to share their stories about becoming officers, answer questions, and build positive connections with students in a relaxed setting.

Afterward, everyone gathered in the gym to honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day. We were honored to welcome Bebezhigooganzhiins Negamojig – The Little Horse Singers, and Mr. Dold read Cloquet Public Schools’ recently adopted Land Acknowledgment.

It was a meaningful morning of conversation, connection, culture, and community. 💜💛

🦋 Exploring the Life Cycle of Monarch Butterflies! 🦋

Students in Ms. Gagner’s Science Class at Cloquet Middle School have been learning about the life cycle of monarch butterflies and the ecosystems they depend on!

As part of their studies, students conducted a mini-investigation exploring how salt affects milkweed plants and whether it impacts the length and mass of monarch caterpillars.

This hands-on learning experience helped students make real-world connections between science and the environment, including how road salt used during Minnesota winters can impact monarch habitats.

🌿 A great example of science coming to life beyond the classroom!

💜 Supporting Students Every Step of the Way at CMS

As school counselors, we work with students one-on-one to help them navigate middle school expectations, friendships, and the everyday challenges that come with growing up.

We also offer small groups where students can build skills and find support around topics such as grief, anxiety, friendships, and family changes. In addition, we spend time in classrooms teaching social-emotional and life skills that help students succeed both in and out of school.

Most importantly, we are here as a resource for families too, partnering together to support student growth, well-being, and success.

💜 CMS School Counselors — here to support our students and families.

🌿 Learning Through Culture & Connection

AIE students from CAAEP went and picked sage. This is the third year that we have harvested our own sage. It is rewarding to watch students put their tobacco out and gather sacred medicines in a good way. Miigwech to Giniw, Cara & Bry for being there in the drizzling cold with them.
