Lip Sync Battle

The 1st annual CMM Lip Sync Battle was held on Tuesday, November 29 in the PAC. We had over 350 people in attendance who were very entertained by the amazing talent here at CMM! The competition was filled with entries from each House, and points were awarded to the House that won the Lip Sync Battle and the House with the most attendees. Congratulations to the House of Truth for winning 1st Place in the Lip Sync Battle and to the House of Courage for having the most members in attendance. Extra entertainment was also provided by CMM Starline. We even had some celebrities in our midst!

Tim Fletcher served as emcee, and Keith Burton, Dr. Lamar Goree, Elizabeth Morales, Bob Griffin, and Keristen Holmes were our judges for the event. Many thanks to Graf Orthodontics for sponsoring our 1st annual Lip Sync Battle, and to all the parents, teachers, and staff members who made this event such a huge success!

Hospitality Committee

The Hospitality Committee hosted its second of four events on Friday, November 18th. The faculty and staff were treated to a delicious luncheon of jambalaya, salad, sweet rolls and chocolate drizzled brownies as the PTSA "Gave Thanks" for our CMM family. We are so very appreciative of everyone who donated items, cooked, set up and served at this luncheon. Our committee has a great time providing this expression of appreciation to our faculty and staff.

Please consider joining us at one of the two remaining Hospitality luncheons. One will be held on Fat Tuesday as we "Laissez les bons temps rouler!" The final luncheon will be a BBQ to bid "Happy Trails" to the school year in May. Please contact Melanie Peacock at melaniepeacock@yahoo.com if you are interested in helping with the remaining two luncheons. Thanks!

Dances

On October 26, 2016, we enjoyed our first dance of the school year and it was the Halloween dance! There were many creative costumes and lots of dancing!!

Thank you to all our wonderful parent volunteers that served Cokes and pizza like pros! And thank you to other parent volunteers that helped by sitting with Mrs. Phelps' class and counting money the following morning. We are happy to say that all opportunities to volunteer for our next dance that is scheduled for December 14, are covered.

With love and appreciation,
Your Dance Committee Chairs
Mandy Hammond, Dorothy Shemwell, and Laura Grieder
