A Message from Your PTSA President, Arissa Green
Hello all of our Caddo Middle Magnet parents, faculty, staff, and students. I am Arissa Green, your 2021-2022 PTSA president and I hope the first nine weeks went well.
As we move into full swing of the second nine weeks, your school's PTSA is aware that things are still not the same due to the pandemic. However, the PTSA has a continuous mission of being the voice for our students and enhancing their educational experiences. We are excited about the changes that are being made in regards to protocols and I want to share what we have planned for the second and third nine weeks.

Teacher Treat
Few Tricks, Plenty of Treats!
Thank you to all the generous families who donated items for Teacher Treat Day Oct. 29.
Faculty and staff enjoyed homemade soups, dips, snacks and sweets throughout the day. It made for a festive Halloween celebration!
It was great to resume to a more traditional PTSA event, and we look forward to doing it again for our amazing CMM staff in December! Again, thank you, everyone, for your support.

A Message from Principal Robin DeBusk
We have had a great start to the 2021-2022 school year!!! We have been busy in Stallion Country these first ten weeks! We are so excited to have all of our students back with us five days a week. It is so wonderful to hear the laughter in the halls.
October 27th we had our first after school activity in over a year. Student Council
sponsored Fall Fest, and we had almost 700 student in attendance. They all had so
much fun just being together! These fun times together have truly been missed.
October 28th was our first CMM Club Day. Each student will attend his/her club meeting once a week. It was a big hit with the teachers and students!
Colonial Days for 7th graders in November 12th. We will also have Mardi Gras for 8th graders and Renaissance Faire for 6th graders in 2022. All of the festivals are back in full swing!
We are all so excited about this new school year and can’t wait to see all of the wonderful things our students will accomplish!

Colonial Days
Hear ye, Hear Ye!
It is that time of year for the Annual Colonial Days Festival!
This even will be held Friday, November 12, 2021.
The recreation of an authentic
atmosphere through dress, activities and food indicative of the time period will be a
valuable learning experience. There will be turkey legs, hay bale throwing, potato sack
throwing, butter making and all kinds of activities and games.
We are encouraging, not requiring, students to dress in colonial attire. Colonial dress
might include long, calico skirt, plaid blouse and bonnet. Young men may roll their pants, not jeans, to just under the knee, knickers, with white knee socks and a white shirt. Please look on the 7th grade Facebook page for more colonial dress ideas.
Tickets will be sold the week of the festival. We are encouraging students to buy a packet of tickets for $10.
There is also a sign up genius on the 7th Grade Facebook page for parent volunteers.
We hope to have a great time, rain or shine.
