Today, we celebrated Random Acts of Kindness Day by spreading gratitude across our campus. Students passed out thank-you notes and hearts to the adults who help them every day. Classes showed kindness by creating thank-you cards for our amazing custodian, wrote kindness notes for their classmates, designed kindness “ice cream cones” detailing ways they plan to show kindness to others, and gave out cookies to spread joy. We are proud of our students for choosing kindness and making our school a brighter place!
