🎶🥁 Friday night lights sound a whole lot better with the Panther Marching Band! 💙💛

Our talented Panther musicians put in the work at band camp this summer, preparing their season halftime show and getting ready to bring the music, energy and Panther Pride to Friday nights!

Tonight, they’ll take the field for the first home football game of the season. Come out, fill the stands and cheer on our Panthers — on the field and at halftime! 🐾🎺

We can’t wait to see (and hear!) what they’ve been working on!

🐴💛 Once a Bronco, always a Bronco!

C-S Elementary staff gathered to celebrate their Bronco heritage and the education, experiences and training they received at Western Michigan University! 🎓🤎💛

We love seeing the many paths that brought our educators to C-S, and the knowledge and passion they now pour into our own little Panthers each day. 🐾

Bronco roots. Panther pride. 💙💛

📚 School is off to a great start at C-S Elementary!

Mrs. Davis’ kindergarteners have been busy learning, exploring and making new friends during their first few days of school. 🐾

They’ve made their way around the building learning and practicing PBIS expectations, while also getting plenty of classroom time to practice playing, sharing and working together.

And no first week of kindergarten would be complete without a trip to the “big” playground! 🛝😊

There’s a lot to learn when you’re a brand-new Panther, and these kiddos are off to a great start! 💙💛

🌅💙💛 Senior Sunrise | Class of 2027 💛💙🌅

The Class of 2027 started their last first day together with a Panther tradition, Senior Sunrise. 🐾

There’s something pretty special about watching the sun come up alongside the classmates you’ve grown up with, knowing you’re beginning one final year together.

Here’s to the early mornings, the big moments, the little moments, and all the memories still waiting to be made.

Class of 2027, your senior year starts now. Make it count. 💙💛

🚌💙💛 Clean, shiny and ready to roll!

Our Panther Transportation fleet is all cleaned up and ready to hit the road tomorrow morning as we officially kick off the 2026–2027 school year! 🐾

Behind the wheel and ready to welcome our Panthers:

🚌 Bus 3 — Miss Linda
🚌 Bus 8 — Miss Jennifer
🚌 Bus 10 — Miss Elke
🚌 Bus 11 — Miss Dawn

For many of our students, these wonderful ladies will be among the first Panther smiles they see each morning and the last ones they see at the end of the school day. 💛

Thank you to our Transportation team for getting ready for another year of safely getting our Panthers where they need to be.

Sleep well, Panther Family. Tomorrow, we roll! 🚌🐾

🚌 Panther Family, tomorrow our buses are back on the road!

As we begin a new school year, we’re asking our entire community to help us make safety the first priority.

Tomorrow morning, our roads will once again be filled with school buses making frequent stops, students waiting along their routes, and children getting on and off the bus. Please give yourself a little extra time, slow down, stay alert and eliminate distractions behind the wheel.

A few important reminders for Michigan drivers:
🛑 Flashing red lights mean STOP-drivers must stop at least 20 feet from the bus and remain stopped until the red lights are turned off or the bus begins moving.
🟡 Flashing yellow lights mean a stop is coming-slow down, use caution and prepare to stop.
👀 Be especially watchful for students near bus stops, intersections and school zones.

Those few extra seconds of patience can make all the difference. Our buses carry precious cargo, and getting every Panther safely to school and safely back home takes all of us. 🐾

Take a moment to review Michigan’s school bus safety laws before heading out tomorrow:

Please slow down, stay alert and help us keep our Panthers safe. 💙💛

As students across Michigan head back to school, drivers should review the state's school bus and school zone traffic laws.

🎓💙💛 ONE LAST FIRST DAY.

Tomorrow, the Class of 2027 walks through the doors of C-S for their first day of school one final time.

There will be plenty of “lasts” this year, but tomorrow is about soaking in one more first. One more year of Friday nights, school traditions, time with friends, laughter in the hallways and memories still waiting to be made.

Seniors, enjoy it. Take the pictures. Laugh a little louder. Be present for the moments that seem ordinary now, because before you know it, they’ll be the ones you miss the most.

Here’s to your last first day, Class of 2027. Make this year one to remember. 🐾🎓

And to ALL of our Panthers, we can’t wait to welcome you back tomorrow! Let’s make 2026–2027 a great one. 💙💛
