8th grade luau information
The end of the school year is quickly approaching and Middle School will soon be behind us. Where has the time gone? Please read below about the upcoming event.
On Friday, May 27, 2022, there will be an 8th-grade celebration at CMS from 5:00-7:00 pm. This year the theme is going to be a LUAU! The dress will be extremely casual and the proper attire will be Bermuda shorts, flip flops, bright flowered shirts, and sundresses. There will be no charge for students to attend the celebration, but we would appreciate donations to help cover the expense of decorations and food. We recognize many of you may be feeling the financial crunch, but we trust that those who can give will do so in hopes to make this a memorable event that our children will cherish. We are asking that all donations be sent in ASAP. Cash or checks made payable to CMS PTO can be sent in an envelope marked “8th Grade Celebration.”
Volunteers are needed to assist with setup, during the dance, and with the cleanup. We would love if 7th grade parents could help during the actual dance, so that 8th graders can enjoy dance without their parents there. If you are interested in volunteering please use the sign-up below.
