FROM THE PRINCIPALS
Happy Friday CMIT-South Families,
As we approach the holiday season, we are prioritizing Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) by encouraging kindness, gratitude, and community building throughout our school. This season provides a wonderful opportunity to reflect on what we are thankful for and to give back to those in need. Our school community is engaging in R.O.A.R. Moments and activities that focus on empathy, collaboration, and the importance of supporting one another.
It has been an exciting and eventful time at CMIT-South! Our high school students are wrapping up their Homecoming Spirit Week, and what a fantastic celebration it has been! From creative spirit days to fun-filled events, students showcased their school pride and came together as a community. Thank you to all the families who supported this memorable week—your involvement makes all the difference!
Middle school scholars are up next! It is our tenacious middle scholars time to show their spirit and celebrate our AMAZING school community during Middle School Spirit Week beginning Monday, December 16th. Please see the flyer below for details. We can’t wait to see our middle schoolers show their Tiger pride and participate in the fun!
Thank you for your continued partnership in making CMIT-South a place where every student feels supported, engaged, and inspired.
Warm regards,
Tiffawny Green, Principal CMIT-South Middle School
