We made it, CMS friends and family!

I hope you all have a restful, relaxing, and rejuvenating April vacation. Please actually take a break and do as little as possible related to school. The rest of the year is going to be packed!

Speaking of packed, please scroll through this edition of our newsletter. There’s lots of good stuff going on, and this will be the last newsletter until May.

Be well,

John / Mr. Scopelleti
