CMIT South MS/HS Newsletter

Dear CMIT South Families,

This week has been a powerful reminder of the strength, dedication, and heart that define our CMIT South community.

As we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week and Nurse Appreciation Week, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible educators and health professionals who care for, guide, and support our scholars every single day. Your commitment makes a lasting impact, and this week—while just a small gesture—reflects how deeply valued you are. A special thank you to our PTO for generously stocking the staff lounge and providing a delicious catered breakfast in honor of our team. Your support means the world to us.

This week also marked the start of state testing for both our middle and high school scholars. We're proud of how our students showed up with focus and determination, and we are equally thankful for the staff who continue to encourage and uplift them through these rigorous academic milestones.

We also want to recognize a major milestone: it is the final week for the Class of 2025! Seniors, your journey at CMIT South is nearing its close, and we are so proud of all you've accomplished. As we prepare to celebrate you, know that the entire CMIT South family is cheering you on.

Join us Wednesdays and Fridays at 3 PM for the launch of CMIT South's BCF Bible Study. Our Bible Study sessions will be held every Friday throughout the school year and offer a chance for students to engage in meaningful fellowship while deepening their knowledge and understanding of the Lord. Our theme for this year is "Into Deep" and we look forward to exploring its significance together. We hope to see you there!
