I want to thank our Carwise Community for an outstanding school year.  We are on our way to becoming an “A” school for our 18^th consecutive year.  We are very proud of our students and staff for making CMS the most award winning middle school in Pinellas County. This year, our students won top awards for Science Fair, Science Olympiad, History, Writing, Future Business Leaders, Technology, Video, Music, Chorus, Art, Basketball, Track and Field, and had fun being a part of a successful team.  I am so proud and thankful for our amazing students and staff.  I want to thank all our Carwise Middle School family members for your support, dedication and the CMS pride you demonstrate.  I am confident that this success will continue for years to come!

Thank you,
