REFLECTING ON KINDNESS AND BUILDING A POSITIVE CMASAS COMMUNITY
Written By: Jamie Marcella
As we move into the New Year, it’s a great time to focus on how we can all help make our school community a little brighter and kinder. Here at CMASAS, we’re all about creating a space where everyone feels safe, respected, and free to be themselves. Each of you plays a big role in making that happen!
A No-Bully Zone
At CMASAS, our school model is built around you as an individual. By focusing on personalized learning, and a flexible schedule, we’re able to give each student the space and support they need to grow. With such a close-knit and caring community, we’re proud to say that bullying has no place here. Every day, our course instructors, staff, and PECs work to make sure everyone feels heard and respected.
Your PECs is here to support you not just in academics, but in all parts of your journey. If you ever feel down or unsure, they’re here to help and guide you.
Simple Ways to Spread Kindness
We know that life can get overwhelming sometimes. It’s easy to feel stressed with classes, outside pressures, and all the things that might be happening in your lives. But one thing we’ve learned is that small acts of kindness can really help bring positivity, not only to others but also to yourself. Here are some easy ways to brighten someone’s day:
Show Gratitude: Take a moment to thank a teacher, a friend, or even your family members. It could be as simple as sending a quick message to say you appreciate them.
Be a Good Listener: In homeroom discussions, PEC meetings, or even in casual club chats, listen closely to others and respect their thoughts. It’s amazing how valued people feel when they know they’re really being heard.
Practice Empathy: Try putting yourself in someone else’s shoes—think about how they might be feeling. Understanding each other’s perspectives can build a lot of trust and connection.
Let Your PEC Help You Shine
Remember, your PEC is here for you, always rooting for your success and happiness. They’re ready to talk whenever you need to, whether it’s about a school project or a personal challenge. They can also help you set goals, celebrate your achievements, and find new ways to be your best self every day.
Our Kindness Challenge
For the remainder of the month, let’s challenge ourselves to make CMASAS a stronger, kinder, and even more awesome community! A small act of kindness—like a thoughtful note, a positive comment, or a friendly check-in—can make a huge difference.
Thank you for being part of what makes CMASAS such a special place. Let’s keep lifting each other up and making this school a safe and welcoming home for everyone.
You each have the power to inspire and make the world a little better, one small action at a time. Keep shining!
