Message from the PTSA President
Dear CMM Families:
Welcome back to our returning families! To our new families, welcome to the CMMunity! I hope you all
enjoyed the fun-filled summer days, and it is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to get ready for another
exciting and successful year. My name is Monica Lawrence, and I am your PTSA President for the 2017-2018
school year. This is my 5th year as a parent at CMM, and I could not ask for a better middle school experience
for my children. CMM has a special community feel that is driven by the dedicated teachers, staff, and
parents that believe in the value of education and all the volunteers that help organize PTSA events.
With your support, we can continue to make CMM a school of excellence. CMM is a community based on
parent involvement. Your contribution, whether it is your time, knowledge, or resources makes a difference.
We invite you to become an involved PTSA member. Thank you for helping in any way you can and showing
your children the importance you place on their education.
A strong PTSA represents parent involvement and parent involvement represents student success.
CMM PTSA Membership Drive is under way! I encourage everyone to renew or start a new membership for
only $6 per person. The form is available by clicking HERE. The PTA welcomes the participation of parents,
grandparents, and guardians – all of the wonderful people who care for and about CMM students. I would
personally like to invite you to attend PTSA meetings held the second Monday of every month in the
Performing Arts Center foyer at noon. Attendance gives you a voice on how your fundraising dollars are spent
and fist-hand information from the principal, Mrs. DeBusk. CMM PTSA offers the following events to name a
few – Colonial Days, Renaissance Faire, Book Fairs, Pizza Slice, 8 th Grade Celebration, Teacher Appreciation and
Honors Assemblies. I am grateful for the many volunteers who offer their time to make CMM PTSA run
smoothly.
We look forward to getting to know your family. We hope you will join us for Back to School Night, Thursday,
August 24 at 6pm for 7 th and 8 th grade families and Monday, August 28 th at 6pm for 6 th grade families. This is
an important night! Everyone will have the opportunity to join the PTSA, learn about school events and
organizations, meet teachers, and much more. Please check our website calendar for all the upcoming back to
school events.
On behalf of the PTA Executive Board and all the volunteers, I wish everyone a very productive year ahead and
look forward to your continued support. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me
at monicayl@yahoo.com or 318.834.7032. Please know that questions and suggestions are always welcome!
Looking forward to a great year!
Best regards,
Monica Lawrence
PTSA President
