Fall Fundraiser
We will be kicking off our fall fundraiser with a pep rally on Tuesday, November 6th. Students will collect pledges for our Fun Run which will be held on Thursday, November 15th. During the Fun Run, students will walk or run laps around our track with their team to fulfill their pledge commitment. The top three fundraising classes will participate in a Color Run at the conclusion of the Fun Run. Funds raised will go to increase STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) projects here at CMSN. What a great way to support healthy habits and CMSN! Look for more details coming home after our kick-off pep rally.
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.
