Principal's Updates
Dear CFMS Families,
In Honor of World Kindness Day on November 13th, CFMS will focus on one aspect of kindness each day:
Monday: SMILE!
Research shows that this simple act of smiling at others is good for everybody. It’s a way to help someone feel connected, which is a necessity for good mental and emotional health.
Tuesday: SAY KIND WORDS!
Sometimes all that’s needed to turn someone’s day around is a kind word. Let others know you appreciate them or even give them a compliment. It just may make their day better!
Wednesday: GIVE YOUR TIME!
You don’t have to donate money. The most valuable gift you can give anyone is your time - To a non-profit group or to your neighbor!
Thursday: REMEMBER YOUR MANNERS!
Please and thank you matter and remembering to use them goes a long way.
Friday: REACH OUT!
Often, the closest people in our lives are the ones we take for granted. Call, text, email or visit your loved ones!
Please help the students continue these actions every day. Studies from
“Nice Guys Finish First”
show that we feel better about ourselves when we practice kindness. People who are kind and compassionate are often the most successful.
Proud to be a Tiger,
Laila Discenza
