President's Message
Happy spring! As we sprint toward the end of the school year (we're not limping yet!), we still have so many exciting things planned for our students. You have the opportunity to be involved in events like Renaissance Faire and 8th Grade Celebration. Both of these events can not be successful without parent volunteers. Be sure to stay informed with school happenings each week by reading the Monday Memo and Mrs. DeBusk's Friday email blast.
I would like to thank all the volunteers who have generously supported the PTSA with monetary donations, time donations, wonderful treats, and most importantly, positive helpful attitudes! Without you, PTSA could not do all that it does, and CMM would not be as special as it is. We had the opportunity to honor several volunteers at the District Founder's Day Luncheon. Much appreciation goes to the following ladies for their dedication and service to CMM over the years. As you leave middle school behind, please know that you made an impact at CMM, and we are grateful for your service: Rebekah Aillet, Trish Johnson, Monica Lawrence, Katie Lettau, Emily McDonald, Kendra Meiki, Tonya Schaan, and Kristy Sumlin .
You are invited to the last two PTSA meetings of the school year: April 15th and May 6th, both at noon in the PAC foyer. We welcome your feedback and suggestions to help make the 2019-2020 school year the best year yet!
Go Stallions!
Kendra Meiki, PTSA President

It is hard to believe this school year is almost over. We have had a wonderful winter and are now
moving in to spring. These next few months will be really busy at CMM. We are looking forward to
Honors Assemblies, Yearbook Day, 8th Grade Celebration, and the last day of school.
Before we get to those events in May, we have LEAP 2025 Testing. We are doing the schedule a little differently this year.
One grade will test each week, and the other grades will go to classes on the regular schedule. Below is
the schedule for testing:
April 1 - 5: 8th Grade
April 8 - 12: 7th Grade
April 15 - 18 and April 24: 6th Grade
- Monday-ELA Session 1 and Math Session 1
- Tuesday-ELA Session 2 and Math Session 2
- Wednesday-ELA Session 3 and Math Session 3
- Thursday-Science all sessions
- Friday (April 24 for 6th grade)-Social Studies all sessions
April 29 - May 1: EOC Testing
- Monday-Algebra I/Geometry Session 1a and 1b

I hope everyone has a very restful Spring Break and a Happy Easter!!!

Lip Sync Battle
It was a star studded afternoon at the CMM Lip Sync Battle on Wednesday, February 27.
Celebrity judges included an American Idol contestant and a former Miss Louisiana. Each house presented a lip sync act, and they were judged on the basis of lip sync ability, creativity, stage presence and choreography and audience participation and applause. It was a close battle with Charity coming in 1st place and Loyalty coming in 2nd. Special thanks to Mrs. Ta Robinson for being our emcee and to our
guest judges Ashley Benson, Mathew Harget, Cameron Theodos, Lauren Vizza and Cpl. Sabrina
