Counselor's Corner
Dear Parents,
Below are a few things we want to be sure you are aware of.
- We would like to ask for your help. On Feb. 11 CMS will hold Career Day, 2020. This is a half-day program where students are exposed to three (3) different careers of their choice. In order for this program to be successful, we need many parent and community volunteers. We want to have as many careers as possible represented for our students. If you or someone you know would be interested in being a speaker please use this link for more information. CMS Career Day 2020
Thank you for a great 1st semester! Please let us know if we can help in any way.
