The first day of school for Catasauqua Middle School students is right around the corner.

School will officially open for the 2014-15 academic year Monday, Aug. 25.

Doors open 7:45 a.m. with classes beginning 7:52 a.m. Dismissal for CMS students will occur at 2:20 p.m.

***

Students are reminded school will not be in session Aug. 29 and Sept. 1 due to the Labor Day holiday.

I hope each student this year takes advantage of the education provided to them.

As Nelson Mandela said, "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world."

Enjoy the remaining few days left of summer break, students!
