March 25, 2008 — Twenty-four students in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD were recently selected as school finalists for the Do the Write Thing challenge, sponsored by the National Campaign to Stop Violence.

More than 40,000 students from 500 middle schools participated in the contest that gives middle school students an opportunity to examine the impact of youth violence on their lives. Through classroom discussions and writings, students communicate what they think should be done to reduce student violence while committing to do something about the problem.

CFISD students and students from other districts will be recognized at a reception on Saturday, May 17, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Minute Maid Park. Additionally, 50 national finalists will be announced during the ceremony, who will go to Washington , D.C. , for a national recognition ceremony in July.

The following CFISD students were named Do the Write Thing school finalists:
