CCMS GIVE BACK

7th grader Mckenzie Pruitt saw an opportunity to do something for someone else and led CCMS to do the same.  Mckenzie read about a young man named Dalton from Salyersville, Kentucky who was suffering from stage 4 Cystic Fibrosis.  With only a short time to live, Dalton's wish was to break the Guinness Book of World Records for receiving the most Christmas cards ever, which was 35,000. 

 

 

Mckenzie and CCMS made more than 300 Christmas cards to mail to Dalton.

 

Mckenzie along with the rest of CCMS students and faculty mailed 359 Christmas cards, to Dalton to help him reach his goal.  If you would like to read more about Dalton's story visit the link below.
