TR0001-CS020501 (2) STOP,
LOOK
--- AND LISTEN!
~' If you have traveled to CMS
North to drop-off or pickup stu-
you have probably ex-
lenges that happen daily at the
intersection of Denton Tap
Road and Natches Trace Trail. Some drivers at-
tempt to tum left wh~e negotiating oncoming traft'm
from both the north and south. Others turn right
only to travel a few hundred yards to make a U-
turn into heavy southbound traffic. At best, it re-
quires great caution with only two stop signs to as-
sist in the flow. The greatest concern, our stu-
dents are right in the middle of the situation.
The city of Coppell budgeted a traffic light at a cost
of $150,000 to improve conditions at this intemec-
tion. But, it isn't scheduled to happen until the
2003-2004 fiscal year. In addition, complaints
about the t~a~ic have minimized, so thought is be-
ing given to reallocate the funds elsewhere. The
CMS North PTO urges parents to let their con-
ceres be known. Please call the city to voice your
opinion, write a letter to a Coppell city councilper-
son or e-mail the mayor, Candy Sheehan, at sl'~--~
hancandym(~.attbi.com with your requests to im-
prove the traffic conditions at the eariiest possible
date for all who use the intersection. Thank you,
Julie Madden, PTO President.

Celebrates Earth Day!
A week of activities were kicked offApri122 to
celebrate Earth Day. A phone book drive was held
throughout the week. The advisory class that col-
lected the most books was the recipient of an ice
cream party. Earth Day wristbands were passed
out and students were asked to show their spirit on
April 24th by wearing green and blue. Club mem-
bers and NJHS also participated in Coppell's Earth
fest Community Cleanup on April 20th by dean-
ing the North campus.
