FORENSIC MOCK TRIAL SUCCESS - ALL STAR BALLOT
The CMIT North Forensic Mock Trial team's dedication reached a new zenith on Thursday, January 8, as they showcased exceptional skill at the Roosevelt High School competition, delivering a powerful performance that earned them an impressive 88 points. Their hard work truly shone, with special recognition going to ninth-grader Jonathan Moncada, who was deservedly named the All-Star Ballot Lawyer of the Night for his standout advocacy. This stellar courtroom showing is a testament to the team's relentless pursuit of excellence and serves as a strong indicator of their future trajectory.
The club are also en route to having an externship this summer, a strategic initiative that will further hone their practical skills, build professional networks, and provide invaluable, real-world experience beyond the mock courtroom. Congratulations to the entire team for representing CMIT North with such professionalism and skill, both in competition and in their proactive pursuit of professional development opportunities.
The Girls Connect Leadership Club, a CMIT parent inspired club coach by Dr. Funke Fasuru, invites all interested high school girls to be part of a dynamic community focused on leadership, confidence, and life skills. This first official meeting will introduce the club’s vision, leadership opportunities, and upcoming activities designed to empower young women to lead with purpose.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, grow, and lead—together.
Honoring Martin Luther King Jr.
Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) will be closed on Monday, January 19, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a visionary leader who dedicated his life to fighting for civil rights, equality, and justice in the United States. Through his powerful speeches, peaceful protests, and unwavering commitment to nonviolence, he became a symbol of hope and change for millions. Dr. King believed in the power of unity, compassion, and service, inspiring people to work together to create a more just and inclusive society. His legacy continues to remind us of the importance of standing up for what is right and serving our communities with kindness and courage.

Lost & Found
The Lost & Found has started to look like a full coat closet! All Lost & Found items will be brought to the cafeteria on Monday, January 12th so students can look for their missing belongings. Any unclaimed items will be donated on Friday, January 16th.
Moving forward, students are reminded to place their coats and hoodies inside their lockers, not on top of them. If a student is unsure of their locker code, please have them ask Student Support.

School Policy
Since returning from holiday break, we have noticed many students wearing non-CMIT shirts underneath CMIT outerwear. Please be reminded that school policy requires a CMIT shirt to be worn under all CMIT outerwear.
Additionally, we have noticed many students wearing both wireless and wired headphones in the hallways. Please be reminded that wired headphones are only permitted in classrooms (with teacher permission) and during lunch.
Students who are found wearing wired or wireless headphones outside of these approved times will be asked to turn them in to Student Support, and Kickboard deductions will be issued. As a reminder, wireless headphones are never permitted at CMIT.
If you ever have questions about the school uniform or headphones, please refer to the CMIT Student Policy Handbook for guidance.
Sincerely,
Ms. Ryan Tarver
Grade Manager
School Testing Coordinator
