Friday, February 17th was National Random Act of Kindness Day. At the middle school, Student Council - Difference Makers decided to give each student a small burst of kindness as they walked into the building, posted positive affirmations on each locker and gave small tokens of appreciation to each faculty and staff member.
Additionally, it was a House Assembly and Activity Day at the middle school. After the monthly assembly, students broke up into their House mentor groups to have discussions about kindness, create hearts with positive character traits about fellow House members and took on the challenge of creating the tallest tower out of hearts!
What a great National Random Act of Kindness Day and a wonderful way to start Mid-Winter Break!
Have a safe and fun Mid-Winter Recess!
