Carroll Middle School will have its annual Veterans Day Assembly on Monday, Nov.11.
Students will honor veterans with songs, musical selections, poems and essays.
As part of our Veterans Day Celebration, CMS would like to pay tribute to all men and women
related to a Carroll Middle School student who are serving or have served in any of our military
forces with a "Wall of Honor."
All Veterans are invited to attend the ceremony on Monday, Nov. 11 at 10:15 a.m. Come early to be seated and stay after for a reception.
Attached is a copy of the form for you to complete and
include a picture if you have one. Please complete the form and include the corresponding picture
(marked with the veterans and students name on the back) and return the completed form to the front office by
Wednesday, Nov. 6. Thank you!

Counselor's Corner
Dear Parents,
Happy November! Our November Counseling Newsletter Life in the Middle focuses on Middle School Friendships and Kindness. We hope you find it useful Life In The Middle - November . We have included important dates for the end of the semester. Please let us know if we can help with anything.
We would like to recognize CMS students who have volunteered in our community. If you know a student who has participated in community service activities over the past year, please encourage them to apply. Any student who has volunteered may apply. CMS will select one applicant to represent our school for state recognition. Program details/application are available on the CMS Webpage under the Counseling Tab/Student Recognition Opportunities. Applications must be submitted online by Tuesday, Nov. 5.
CMS 8th graders have the opportunity to apply for a $2500 college scholarship by completing an application which includes the following: academic achievements, extracurricular and athletic activities, and community involvement. Each student is also required to write an essay on his or her favorite role model. CMS will select two applications for consideration to the Bobby Bragan Youth Foundation. Deadline for applying is Nov. 15. Applications are available on our CMS Webpage under the Counseling Tab/Student Recognition Opportunities.
Schedule Change Requests for 2nd Semester
CMS Counselors will accept elective schedule change requests for 2nd semester Tuesday-Thursday, Dec.

. Students can request a schedule change for electives using a Google document. We will accept elective change requests for 2nd semester starting at 8:00 a.m, Tuesday, Dec. 3 until 4:00 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 5. In order to be fair to all students, we will not be able to accommodate any requests made via email or in person. The link will be available on the CMS Webpage under the Counseling Tab.
Keeping with the "Go Green" idea, we will not be printing their 2nd semester schedules for them to view. Students will need to access their schedules for 2nd semester through Student Access. We will print them for the 1st day of second semester.
Thank you!

Lost & Found
Parents:
Lost & Found is already overflowing with clothing, books, notebooks, pencil bags, lunch boxes and water bottles. We do go through the Lost & Found on a daily basis so we can return any items labeled with a name. Clothing and books will be donated on
Friday, Nov. 22
before the Thanksgiving break. All other items will be disposed of.
We also have a separate Lost & Found at the Front Desk for more valuable items such as retainers, glasses, ear buds, and jewelry. These will be kept until the end of the year and then donated. Any found laptops are brought to the Front Desk and are returned to students as soon as they are identified.
Please have your student check the Lost & Found outside of the Nurse's Clinic or the Front Office for items they may be missing.
