Our 6th grade explorations class had written outrageous requests. CMS sixth-grader, Lily Jackson had written to Mr. James, the owner of the Southern Park Mall Chick-fil-A. As part of the outrageous request, Mr. James agreed to come out and present to our entire school regarding hard work, dedication, kindness, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Mr. James also offered free Chick-Fil-A to Lilly Jackson and will provide lunch for Mrs. Cappuzzello's Explorations class in the next few weeks. A very special thank you to Mr. and Mrs. James for taking the time and spending a fantastic afternoon with our CMS students.
