The CMS media center received an early Christmas gift from the Milton M. Ratner Foundation.  The school received $10,000 to add to the non fiction selections in the media center.  Deidre Ross, Media Specialist, wrote the grant proposal, expressing the need for more non fiction titles for the center.  The new books purchased will have acknowledgements of funding from the Ratner Foundation.  We are very grateful to the Ratner Foundation for their interest in our school and for their generous grant.
