President's Message
This year has flown by. It's hard to believe it's already spring! We've had a busy winter at CMM. So many wonderful things are going on at our school right now. Please be sure you are checking your email regularly for the PTSA Monday memo. Every week there is pertinent information about what is happening and there will be more and more happening in these last few months of school!
I encourage you to attend the Stallion Stampede 5k house competition on April 8 at Lee Hedges Stadium. It's going to be a great time for everyone! We will also be drawing the winner for the split the pot event the PTSA is sponsoring. All proceeds will be split in half - half will go to the winner, half to the school! Buy lots of tickets to increase the pot and increase your chances to win!
In February we honored some of the hardest working volunteers we have as the say goodbye to CMM and move on with their child to high school. They were honored at the annual District PTA Founder's Day Luncheon at East Ridge Country Club. These volunteers have served at CMM in major roles over many, many years as they walked these halls with several children! Thank them if you get a chance for their hard work and commitment to our school. They are: Jodie McJunkins, Robin Jones, Candy Watkins, Lauren Price, Dorothy Shemwell, Mandy Rainey, Julie Lindsey, Suzanne Phillips, Denise Cook, and Teresa Courtney.
Kristy Payne, President

Mardi Gras Celebration
CMM's 8th Grade Mardi Gras Celebration took place on Friday, February 24, 2017. The students started their day with the coronation ceremony. The King and Queen of Gemini, Jack and Karen Murphy assisted the 8th grade Social Studies teachers by crowning the 8 th grade royalty. The festivities continued with some amazing talent by 8 th grade students and the Byrd Drum Line. After lunch, the kids enjoyed a dance in the gym with pizza, drinks, candy and a photo booth courtesy of Cosse & Simon Orthodontics. Many thanks to the parents, committee members and 8th grade teachers for helping make this a special day!
