NEWS FROM THE FRONT OFFICE

Warrior Families,

October has been an exciting month at CMCSI! Sources of Strength Week was a great way to end the month!  Students have done a great job bringing in canned foods & non-perishable food items but we are still collecting them through Friday, November 10th.  It's not too late to bring in items if you haven't done so already. We appreciate your support in partnering with us as we give back to our community.  

Patriotic Day is quickly approaching.  This is a special day to honor and celebrate our Veterans and First Responders at CMCSI.  Patriotic Day will be next Friday, November 10th at 9:00 AM.  More information regarding this year's Patriotic Day can be found below. 

November 20th-24th is Thanksgiving Break, and we hope this week is full of family time and rest for our Warrior families.  Once we return from break, we have Pictures with Santa (Monday, November 27th) and our Holiday Lunches to look forward to on December 6th, 7th, and 8th.  We are excited to have parents come in for this special lunch.  See information below.

We hope everyone has a terrific November. We are thankful for our CMCSI Warriors and for your continued support as we work together to help our children learn and grow.  Feel free to contact us if you ever need anything.

Holiday Lunches are Coming soon!

CMCSI will be hosting Holiday Lunches for our Warrior families on December 6th (3rd & 4th grades), December 7th (1st and 2nd grades), and December 8th (Kindergarten & 5th grades).  Students are invited to have 2 guests join them for a Holiday Meal prepared by our cafeteria staff on their assigned day.  Each student can host a maximum of 2 visitors to eat with them for their Holiday Lunch (due to limited seating).  Lunch is $4.50 per visitor.  Cash only and exact change is appreciated.  

Visitors will pay at the door.  All visitors must bring state-issued I.D. to eat lunch at CMCSI.  Remember to arrive early to sign in at the Front Office and purchase lunch tickets.  We will send the lunch times and assigned tables for each class closer to the dates.  We are looking forward to this festive time with our Warrior families!
