Kid Power!
If there's any doubters out there that kids can make a difference, share with them what our amazing CMS students do to give back to others! If they can accomplish this much at a young age, just imagine what might be possible in their future!
Our Kindness Week Challenge this year was collecting coins to donate to California Wildfire Relief. Across campus, students brought in coins - and had fun counting!
TOTAL COLLECTED: $1,009.03
In addition to this amazing effort, Upper El students have also been collecting donations for Helping Hands, a local non-profit group that assisits those experiencing homelessness. Thanks to all who have supported this effort. Stay tuned next week to hear more about that effort.
Our Parent Book Club is back with a new recommended read!
The Self-Driven Child by William Stixrud and Ned Johnson. This book comes highly recommended by Kathy Minardi, a longtime leader in the AMI Montessori community, who has personally worked with the authors who are psychologists in the D.C. area.
As we did for the Anxious Generation, we will talk about the book in 2 parts:
- March 6th - Part One covers Chapters 1 to 7
- March 13th - Part Two will cover Chapters 8 to 14
We will meet right after morning drop off this time. Please RSVP and plan to join us in the Clubhouse from 8:30 to 9:30am. If you can only make one of the times, still come! And if you prefer podcasts, here's a LINK to the author's page for that. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
