Great Kindness Challenge
On January 14th - 18th, CMSN will be participating in the Great Kindness Challenge. The Great Kindness Challenge is a week devoted to performing as many acts of kindness as possible here at CMSN and beyond. Kindness is an important character trait. Students will be given an activity sheet with kindness challenges in hopes that it becomes habit forming to make a positive impact on the world around them.
We will have a theme each day of the Great Kindness Challenge.
Monday: “Smiling toward another is the GREATEST way to show KINDNESS!” - Wear a SMILE!
Tuesday: “Team up for KINDNESS!”- Wear your favorite team jersey or your team shirt!
Wednesday: “KINDNESS is like a RAY of SUNSHINE!” - Wear Yellow!
Thursday: “Being KIND is for HEROES!” - Wear a Super Hero shirt!!
Friday: “Being KIND is the TOPS!” - Wear a hat/cap on your TOP!
During the Great Kindness Challenge last year,
11,292,852 students completed the challenge.
15,958 schools participated in the challenge.
612,087,403 acts of kindness were completed
98 countries participated
Do you accept the challenge? We hope to see kindness spread around CMSN and our community throughout this challenge and beyond!

The Lions of Little Rock
This semester, CMSN is reading The Lions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine as our One Book One School campaign. We have lots of great activities and lessons planned around our book. We will have trivia questions each week and our students can win some great prizes.
Here's a little bit more about the book...
Two girls separated by race form an unbreakable bond during the tumultuous integration of Little Rock schools in 1958. Twelve-year-old Marlee doesn't have many friends until she meets Liz, the new girl at school. Liz is bold and brave, and always knows the right thing to say, especially to Sally, the resident mean girl. Liz even helps Marlee overcome her greatest fear - speaking, which Marlee never does outside her family. But then Liz is gone, replaced by the rumor that she was a Negro girl passing as white. But Marlee decides that doesn't matter. Liz is her best friend. And to stay friends, Marlee and Liz are willing to take on integration and the dangers their friendship could bring to both their families.
