CFMS Kindness Challenge

The Chagrin Falls Middle School Student Council hosted the school’s second annual “Kindness Challenge” this year. This was a competition between homerooms where students had to complete as many acts of kindness as they could in a two-week span. Each homeroom had a poster displaying several acts of kindness that students could perform. Whenever a teacher or student council member saw a student performing one of the acts, they gave them a sticker to place on the class poster.

The winning homerooms were Mrs. Jessica Johnson’s seventh-grade homeroom and Mrs. Kathleen Aranavage’s eighth-grade homeroom. The reward for the students from these homerooms was a service-based field trip to Hamlet Retirement Village. At the village, students visited with local residents and participated in an ice cream sundae party.
