AMONG US: CMS Drama students played a performance version of the popular phone game "Among Us," where students drew cards to determine whether they were a crew member or an imposter. Students had to complete acting related tasks at stations located around the room. The imposter's job was to covertly tag crew members out of the game without getting caught. Ms. Maggie Salem said It was a fun way to practice acting skills on the last day of the week! #CMSBlueJays
