Thanks to all CMIT staff members, students, and parents who participated in our Black History Month activities! We were able to have a fun-filled, inspirational, and engaging month of activities and presentations! We enjoyed our daily Black History Month facts, Jeopardy Game, themed dress-down days, contests, and DJ lunch! We learned so much from the presentations from our special guests: HBCU & Divine 9, Fitness - African dance, Natural Hair and Grooming tips. We will continue to have engaging activities this year that are informative and engaging! Stay tuned for exciting announcements for upcoming activities for March!

Due to a scheduling conflict, our next PTSO Meeting will be on THURSDAY, MARCH 10TH at 6:30pm. On the agenda will be an update to the PGCEA (Educator's Association) Negotiations with PGCPS, Board of Education vacancies, Maryland Mask Mandate lifted, CEO proposed budget and other important items. I am hoping to have our Board of Education Member, David Murray attend along with a guest from the Maryland State Educators Association to talk about the Blueprint for Maryland's Future that will provide Prince George's County with millions of dollars in funding for programs, salaries and resources. I will send out a reminder as we get closer. Here is the link to join on March 10th: https://pgcps-org.zoom.us/j/85416068230 Hope to see you there!!

PTSO finally has an account and is ready to collect members! Thank you for being so patient!! Membership fees are usually $10/family, but since we got started a bit late we are only charging $5/family. This money will go directly to assisting our students! Supporting them and helping them to achieve their goals. We have already had a request from the baseball team to help them raise money for new baseball hats. They cannot compete without them. Let's start our NEW PTSO by helping these student athletes. Please join the PTSO for $5 and/or make a donation to the baseball team. To sweeten the effort, the class that has the most new members joined by MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28TH will receive a prize (TBD).
