CMMS Parents and Guardians, With everything that our students have missed out on this year we wanted to make sure that we recognized the hard work that many students have put in to this challenging school year.  In recognition of these individual efforts we will be conducting award ceremonies for each grade level on Monday, June 7th.  Even with the recent loosening of the COVID restrictions, only students will be able to attend these award ceremonies.  We will be hosting the event at the John Glenn auditorium and there will not be enough room for students that are receiving awards to have guests present. However, we will be live streaming and recording the ceremonies for parents to watch live or at a later time.  A link to the live stream for the event will be posted as we get closer to the event date.   The grade level assemblies will be taking place at the following times on June 7th: 7th Grade – 8:30 am 6th Grade – 10:45 am 8th Grade – 12:30 pm
