Outgoing Freshman parents will be seated with incoming Freshman parents. Mrs. Martin will not have an incoming Freshman count until approximately May 16th. When we get the information, invitations will go out to incoming freshman families.
Dawn Schindler made a motion to set aside $100.00 for a second printing of the student phone directories. These will include the incoming Freshman and be sold at the banquet for $3. Salima Madhani seconded the motion. A vote was called and the motion passed unanimously. Mrs. Martin will send home a link for those current students that were not originally in the Student Phone book but would like to be listed for the second printing. If your student was not included in the original phonebook and would like to be listed in the next, go to this web address http://tiny.cc/341wh and fill out the information you would like printed.
On April 27, 2011 a Mentor/Mentee Meeting will be held at the Senior High campus. Sophomores will work with Freshman to help prepare them for the AP Biology exam. There will also be a video series on Ecology that Mrs. Martin will play. Pizza and snacks will be served. Cathy Hendrickson needs a count of those who will attend. She needs sophomores to sign up to help the Freshman.
Natalie Genco will check with the counselors to see if it is possible to sell Dragon Food Cookbooks at graduation for our continuing Fundraising.
Mrs. Martin is still in need of adult volunteers for the Cook Children’s Opening Fundraiser. Students have to be 15 before or by the date of the opening in order to volunteer. If you are interested as an adult or student volunteer, please send Becky Goodman an email letting her know.
Nancy Lesky purchased a printer cartridge for Mrs. Martin’s printer in the amount of $422. It is a high yield cartridge that should provide more copies.
Internship/Speaker Update - Dawn Schindler is working on having a few extra internships by next spring due to enlarging class sizes. Some that are taking students now can offer more than one rotation to students. 25 hours is difficult to fit in with school work, jobs, etc. Feedback from those providing the internships is good. The EMT ride-alongs are very popular. Cook Children’s and Dallas Children’s Medical Center specialty clinics opening in Southlake may help add internships. Summer internships are being worked on.
Freshman Parent Representative, Salima Madhani reported that she and Mona Pate are working on a date for the Freshmen to get-together.

Dr. Peter Kwong is an orthopedic surgeon who has been practicing in the area for 11 years. He is going to be helping CMA with the internship program. The class sizes are growing so the need for internships is growing. Dr. Kwong will visit with his colleagues and spread the word about the program and the need for internship assignments.
New Business -
Dr. Rollins, our CMA counselor, has books (Acceptance, Colleges that Change Lives) she loans out to students regarding colleges . They are almost always on loan. CMA Boosters would like to purchase more copies of those books for Dr. Rollins.

Physician’s Breakfast Recap (Melissa Ripley)- The Physician’s Breakfast took place on February 16th. There was a total of 21 businesses represented.

The $500.00 remaining was the amount budgeted for the Breakfast. Feedback indicated this was the most organized Physician’s Breakfast yet while the acoustics were somewhat off and people had a hard time hearing.
