The "All for One" books homeroom competition has ended, the results are in, and CCMS students proved why they are the best around. Each homeroom collected spare change during week of the fall book fair. The spare change was donated to help schools effected by natural disasters, as well as purchase books for their own homeroom. Total CCMS students donated nearly $300.

The winning homerooms were:

3rd place--Ms. Kristen Rowe's 8th Grade Homeroom

2nd place--Ms. Amber Ferguson's 7th Grade Homeroom

&

1st place--Ms. Brittany Smith's 6th Grade Homeroom.

Ms. Brittany's homeroom raised more than $120 in spare change, all of which goes to purchase books for her homeroom and to help schools around the nation that are affected by natural disasters. Way to go CCMS, we are so proud of your willingness to help others

Pictured above are the students from the winning homeroom. They raised enough money for each student to have a book. Great job 6th graders!
