A Note From Our Principal
Dear Families,
We hope you enjoyed your four day weekend last week and were able to find some time to spend together as a family at home. CMUE was full of lots of red, pink, candy, and love today as we celebrated Valentine’s Day. I challenge all of you throughout the rest of February to continue to show love and kindness to others in various ways. Smile at someone as they pass you in the hallway or the grocery store, help out a friend in need, offer to read a book to a younger sibling, parent, or grandparent. Small acts of kindness go a long way.
Mrs. LaVictor
