Catherine & Bryan Deliver Their Success Messages At Our Academic Recognition Ceremonies.
Parents & Guardians:
Last week was special as we got to recognize all of our Term #1 Academic Scholars. This event is always fun, and I'm glad we take the time to recognize the hard work and commitment of our student body. Additionally, it's always nice to be able to share this moment with family members as well. I want to point out that we were very excited to have Catherine Fengler and Bryan Santos-Ramos revist their old middle school and talk about their successes since leaving Charlton Middle School. The success stories from our alumni always make this event very special. Please know that we do this for Term #2 and Term #3 as well. Therefore, it's our hope that we can get as many students into this forum as possible. I am already excited about creating our list of speakers for Term #2. If you were able to attend, thanks so much for coming and being part of the ceremony.
We have another busy week ahead so let's get right into it... Go Grizzlies!.
I hope everyone has an amazing week!

The REMIND app we have been using no longer allows over 150 participants so I had to create a class for each school. Could you please send out the information below so CMS parents get the info to join? Either through your REMIND system or in email form?

This link is for Charlton Middle School students only. Unfortunately the new remind system does not allow the PTO to have one group with all members so we must create a REMIND link for each school. L This is the most effective way we can reach out to parents directly with reminders about updated event info, volunteer opportunities, fundraising programs and success etc.
