Message from the PTSA President
Greeting Stallions!
As the newly elected PTSA President of Caddo Middle Magnet, I would like to welcome back any returning students and families and offer a very heartfelt welcome to our new families! To all of you, my goal is to ensure 2014-15 is a productive and fun year!
We are currently (and have always been), an award winning PTSA! We have the LARGEST PTA enrollment in the state of Louisiana! We were named Outstanding PTA Unit. This award is given to PTAs that submit an extensive application providing information proving we met expectations to be named this honor.
PTSA Executive Committee, Committee Chairs & volunteers, thank you in advance for committing to serve. Looking forward to working with you this school year, including many I have forged paths with before, and the myriad new parents that will begin this journey for the first time.
PTA’s mission is to support our students, the faculty, staff and parents. “every Child-one Voice” is the National PTA motto. The PTA is one of the strongest voices in the educational process that directly supports our children and school. This year will be no different. Your PTA has been focused on preparing an enhanced educational environment for all of our students.
An effective and successful PTA requires support and involvement of the parents of our students. It is vital. Your first opportunity to show support is to become a member of the Caddo Middle Magnet PTSA. We encourage each of you to show your commitment by joining. CMM is a Parent Teacher STUDENT Association. Please have your child join as well for $6.00 each person. We also have a new Stallion Club. If you are able to give more than $6.00, you will be recognized by being given a sticker designating your commitment level~Platinum ($250 and above), Blue & Gold Level ($100-$249), Gold Level ($50-$99) Blue Level ($25-$49). You can find the form under CMM PTSA Membership dues. In May 2014, the CMM PTSA Board voted to give the school $15,000 to use on technology and training. This is possible due to our generous parents that donate their time and money.
The second way to show your support will be to participate in the numerous exciting events and programs that we have planned throughout the year. You may choose to be a committee chair, committee member, or volunteer. Whatever level of participation you choose; your time and involvement will be greatly appreciated. Many parents feel that they cannot participate in the PTA because they cannot attend meetings or be at school during the day. Whether you have 30 minutes or a few hours in or outside of school hours, your ideas, your time, and your talents are truly needed. There are endless possibilities in ways you can help. Research shows that students whose parents are involved in their education have better grades and fewer discipline problems. We promise that the time you give to the PTA and the school will be worth your while—and fun! Please consider volunteering, it really does make a difference in the lives of all our children! You can find the form on this website under CMM 2014 Volunteer form.
