A Smart Fundraiser for SmartBoards

Recycle. Reuse. Reap the rewards! Your PTSA is teaming up with Mixed Bag Designs to purchase SMARTBoards for every classroom at CMM!

Order forms will come home with students on Monday, Jan. 24 and the sale will run through Feb. 7.  For those who order online, go to www.mixedbagdesigns.com/Shop-All-Retail and enter our school code 36621 at the end of the check out process.

These eco chic reusable bags are made from woven polypropylene and up to 40 percent of the content is post-consumer recyclables. They come in a bevy of designs and sizes, including covers for iPhones and laptops. Reuse them again and again as a grocery bag, laundry bag, book bag, toy bag, beach bag or just a hold-everything bag. Personalize them with a monogram for a great end-of-the-year gift.

Test/Binder Check 3.1 on Friday

Please study your notes.

Social Studies Fair Contestants

Jane Shea on Success in High School

Jane Shea, our gifted coordinator will present a workshop on selecting coursework in high school.  It will be held in the CMM PAC on 27 January 2011 from 6:00 p.m. until all questions have been addressed. I encourage you to attend.

Social Studies Fair Displays & Oral Presentations

Social studies fair displays and oral presentations are due this week. Please plan to bring them to school and take them home on the same day.  I apologize for any inconvenience, but I do not have room for 70 projects in G-Wing. They are due by first letter of last name as follows:

19 January (Wednesday) -- A-D
20 January (Thursday) -- E-P
21 January (Friday) -- Q-Z

The late penalty is 25%/day.

A few things to remember:
-- the GLEs are on the iDisk
-- by chart, I mean information in boxes
-- by graph, I mean something like a pie graph or a bar graph
-- the ten facts should be in list form

Grades Updated on JPAMS

The grades for the last test and binder check or the second grading period have been posted.  The drops have been calculated, so this should be your grade for the report card unless you missed today's test and binder check.

Since we are home today, the test and binder check are delayed until Wednesday. Enjoy your snow day!
