Class of 2023 Update
|
Greetings,
I appreciate you all for your patience as we have ironed out the details for the class of 2023 SGA. The election has been cast and the winners are as follows:
President: Addyson P.
Vice President: Sokhna M.
Secretary: Aubriana P.
Treasury: Jaidyn G.
If you would like to join the class of 2023 as a SGA member please come to our first scheduled meeting on Tuesday October 3, 2022 at 7:45 AM. Class of 2023 SGA will meet every Tuesday before school as many seniors are unavailable after school due to ITEC, work, or other commitments and are no longer in the building after lunch. If you would like to be involved but are unable to come to the meetings, be on the lookout for special events that will be hosted by the class of 2023 SGA.
At this time I am unable to provide a fourth date for senior pictures at CMIT South. It is now recommended that any senior that has not taken their senior portraits go to the studio in Hannover, MD. The address for the studio is as follows: 901 Mercantile Dr. Suite H. Hanover, MD 21076 and the phone number provided for the studio is (855) 918-2930. Please use this link to schedule your senior portraits at the Prestige Studio. https://local.prestigeportraits.com/#maryland-label
There has also been a new class of 2023 google site that has been created by the school staff to keep all communication in one place. We will continue to use the newsletter, emails, and the website to reach all mediums in hopes no communication is lost. If you have any recommendations please email bodaniel@cmitsouth.org to discuss your ideas. Please click here to access the official class of 2023 website. https://sites.google.com/cmitsouth.org/classof2023/home
As always I am so thrilled to work with the class of 2023 and hope you are as excited as I am to have a wonderful senior year for the class of 2023. I am grateful for the support I have already received and look forward to working together throughout this school year.
