Academy of Law & Criminal Justice Students See Future Career Opportunities
Students met with juvenile court officers, learning about the court process, procedures, and the differences between status and delinquent offenses. Students were able to visit General Sessions, both criminal and civil courts and observe arraignments, docket calls, and see hearing dates set and reset. Finally, students got to interact 1:1 with our Clarksville Police Department J.E.T. officers.

CHILD NUTRITION: Pamela Busico
"I love working in an elementary school. The children are so funny with the things they say, and the stories they come up with are hilarious. I had a child tell me that he lives in Space and comes to school on his pet falcon! Their hugs and smiles make my day brighter! Over the years, I have had some students come through my lunch line that I really connected with, and they have kept in touch with me all these years later. I've been invited to their baby showers and told how much I helped them every day, knowing they had me to talk to on the lunch line.
What I truly love about my job is that the children appreciate us and all our hard work. They tell us how much they like the food, and they show that every day with their smiles. Sadly sometimes our meals are their only meals, so I take great pride in making sure we prepare their meals according to the recipes and guidelines and cooked to the right temperature and fresh. My job isn't always easy, but it sure is rewarding!"
Pamela, you made our day! 🥰 Thank you for the care you show our students.
🌟 CMCSS BRIGHT SPOT 🌟
Montgomery Central Middle School SRO, Deputy Chad Smith
Montgomery Central Middle School wanted to purchase classroom window door coverings for emergencies. Window covers provide an easy solution for staying out of sight.
When Deputy Smith realized the cost of purchasing window coverings (around $20-$30 each), he decided to make his own. Over Spring Break, Deputy Smith made over 80 classroom window coverings! Instead of the high price tag, he made them for $3.75 each. In addition, Deputy Smith made car rider parking lot signs, safety sashes, a mobile PA system for car riders, large building maps that Velcro to the hallways, and so much more.
Thank you, Deputy Smith, for always focusing on the safety of our students and being a true asset to our district!

MOORE MAGNET ELEMENTARY: Frannie Hall
Self-described "Residential Grandma" of Moore Magnet, Ms. Frannie Hall has been with the district for 10 years. "I am passionate about helping the students make better decisions (seasoned with a dose of respect, an ounce of kindness, and a heaping of life lessons). I am most delighted with inspiring my co-workers to live each day moment by moment (and dance a little)." As a retired Army Veteran, Ms. Hall is the perfect person to keep the front office of Moore Magnet running smoothly!
On May 10, the CMC Education Foundation will host an event to thank our Classified Employees of the Year for their contribution to the district.

“We have seen a decrease in mental health awareness or well-being,” said Tomecia Slade, a Lead Social Worker for the district. “There is a difference between having a mental illness and mental wellness.”
In 2022, CMCSS added nine district social workers to its roster, a response to the dramatic increase in need seen not only in Montgomery County but nationwide. Students are struggling, and school social workers are one piece of the complex puzzle. Have they made an impact?

Students Join Together to Celebrate Read Across America Week
St. Bethlehem Elementary children were thrilled to have West Creek High students visit their school today! Sophomores in the Academy of Teaching & Learning planned a reading lesson using a Dr. Seuss text and a fun activity.
Students will continue with themed dress-up days and activities planned by Amanda Wilson, St. Bethlehem librarian. But Ms. East and her West Creek students were the week`s highlights!
