Volunteer Needed to Take Over PTSA E-News for Next Year!

After six years serving as PTSA Vice President of Communications, I'll be stepping down, as my youngest child will be moving on to Carrboro High next year.  If you are looking for a great way to volunteer for the PTSA and be in the know of all the goings-on at CMS, this is the position for you!  The primary duty of the PTSA Vice President of Communications is preparation of the weekly PTSA e-news.  Also, you would serve as moderator for the CMS community Facebook page, including posting items of interest there.  The typical time spent on these duties is about an hour a week.  There's also room to expand the scope of social media outreach and the e-news itself if you are interested in making changes!  If you are interested in volunteering, please email me at culbreth.news@gmail.com.

Thank you for considering!

On Sunday, May 12th, from 12:30 PM - 3:30 PM, Athlinics is holding a UNC Soccer Clinic! Open to both boys and girls, the event will feature notable UNC athletes — John McDowell and Riley Thomas, among others — who will lead a skills training session and team play, concluding with a panel to speak with the players about student-athlete life at the Division I level. This event will take place at House of Sports NC at 1839 S Main St, Wake Forest, NC 27587.

This is an incredible opportunity for your boys and girls, who will not only develop as athletes but also learn about the collegiate athlete experience. Spots are limited.

There is also a discount code - UNC10 - $10 off for youth athletes referred through their school.
