Your feedback needed, please - deadline Friday, May 6th
The Cabarrus Health Alliance and the Cabarrus STARS program is seeking teacher feedback regarding school climate here at CMS. We greatly appreciate teachers taking the survey linked below. It takes about 20 minutes and is confidential. If you provide a personal email account, you will be entered to win a Walmart gift card for $15. Once teacher surveys have been completed, our school will be eligible to receive its yearly stipend over $1000 for its participation. We will also be able to access the data to determine areas of successes and challenges.
Please complete this survey by FRIDAY, MAY 6.

Planning Ahead for our Volunteer Luncheon
Our volunteer luncheon will be on May 26th around noon. More details will be shared soon, but we do want you to begin thinking of who should be invited. If you have any special volunteers that have helped you out this year, please send their names to Ms. Alicia Watson. Also, Ms. Eng (Kelley Carpenter's mother) will continue her tradition of fixing the lunch for our volunteers, but we will need dessert donations by our staff members.
