In the heart of Coronado, the KCMS news team kicked off the day with a vibrant broadcast, setting a positive tone for the week ahead. Good morning, CMS! Mila Perry and Grace Hernandez greeted their audience on January 27, 2025, with exciting updates and a focus on kindness.

As the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles prepare for the Super Bowl, the broadcast shifted gears to highlight a more local initiative—the Great Kindness Challenge. This week-long event encourages students to engage in acts of kindness, echoing the powerful words of Martin Luther King Jr.: "The time is always right to do what is right." The Kindness Carnival, featuring games and prizes, was announced as the perfect kickoff to this inspiring week.

Mister Handysides, filling in for Miss Velar, emphasized the importance of self-talk in fostering kindness. He encouraged students to treat themselves with the same compassion they would offer a friend, reminding them that self-appreciation is crucial for extending kindness to others. "When kindness starts with care and appreciation for ourselves, it is so much easier to show understanding to others," he noted.

The broadcast also featured a motivational quote about kindness, likening it to a boomerang that always returns. As the students prepared to share their Kindness Boomerang video, the message was clear: spreading positivity not only brightens the lives of others but also enriches one's own.

As the broadcast wrapped up, the hosts wished a happy birthday to students Bridal Gossett and Mason Treat, leaving their audience with a reminder to take ownership, act with integrity, and show respect. With the Great Kindness Challenge underway, the spirit of community and compassion is set to flourish at CMS.
