All too often we hear the question, “What do you want for Christmas?” This year, CTA students in Ms. Chilcote’s FIT class were asked the following question instead: “If you could make one wish for others this holiday season, what would be your Christmas wish for the world?” Their answers displayed their kindness, which was a recent focus for our Character Trait of the Month, and creativity.
Student Wishes:
Cortney A. (10th grade) “To end bullying everywhere”;
Tatyanna L. (11th grade) “That people would have more Christmas Spirit”;
Ryan F. (12th grade) “For people to be happy”;
Bryanna R. (10th grade) “For the world to be stress-free & happy”;
Brin C. (9th grade) “For people to have enough food”.
School-wide, students have been making an effort to make some of these wishes come true through participating in Toys for Tots, the “Make Change Campaign”, and writing to U.S. soldiers currently serving overseas. These activities show how committed our CTA community is to our mission through actively “changing our world by developing students in character, scholarship, and leadership.”
