Choose kindness
On Monday, we celebrated World Kindness Day. In keeping with the mission of our school, which is to create a compassionate community of everyday leaders, students were encouraged to write or perform intentional acts of kindness to foster a culture of compassion and caring. Classroom doors were adorned with a big red heart where students wrote kind notes to their teachers and other staff.
As a school community, we strive to realize our mission each and every day. Please help us keep the momentum going. Remind your children to be kind to their classmates, teachers and staff around the building.
Acts of kindness
Speaking of kindness, your generosity for our Thanks For Giving food drive allowed us to assemble 14 overflowing food baskets. Thank you for your generosity!
Shout out to the Student Leadership Team for sorting and packing all of the items into baskets!
