No Name-Calling Week
Jan 21-25, 2008 is 'No Name-Calling Week" inspired by the young adult novel, The Misfits, by James Howe. It tells the story of four best friends trying to survive the 7th grade in the face of frequent name-calling, bullying and harassment. The students create a "No Name Day" at school in hopes of creating a safer environment. Resources are available to download at no charge including a variety of structured activities for children and youth from No Name Calling Week .

CSY known around the World!
You just never know where your next blessing will come from. Our annual campaign received a generous donation from Sabina BELLI of Paris, France. She heard about what we are doing from Cherese Morton, Rochelle Morton's daughter who lives in New York. It just goes to show how important it is to share the story about how we make a difference in the lives of children with our friends and family, as you just never know who is listening. We are making a difference and with Sabina's help, and the help of so many others, we are continuing to do so. Many, many thanks!
