Mr. Graham, our vice-principal, says that “The goal of the event was to welcome fathers, grandfathers, and father figures into the school. They play a huge role in the lives of the young males at CMS, and we don’t often get to see them, as mothers are most often involved when it comes to anything to do with their children’s education.” Some of the younger and “older” guys played basketball, others played floor hockey and some played video games.
