 Saturday September 26th is American Indian Heritage Day in Texas. 

This day of celebration and honor has only existed for 8 years.

Why do you feel like this day needs to exist? Why do you feel people decided to stand up for American Indians in Texas?

She sets the tone and expectations to her staff and they in turn set those same things to you.  We are blessed with a strong leader who puts her students and their needs as her top priority.  What is something YOU can do here at CMS to impact the culture of our school.
