2018 Volunteer of the Year breakfast
On April 20, CMS hosted a volunteer breakfast to thank all of our parents who dedicate time and effort to make events possible. From front office support to media center helpers to donations of products and services, all of these make a positive impact on our culture and student learning. It is never too late to get involved in volunteering. Volunteering can be as big or small as your world allows and doesn't have to mean physical presence. We encourage everyone to get involved!
