Happy Kindness Week!! Let's make a difference in our world and at our school by going out of our way to be extra kind to others. Be a part of our Kindness Week Challenge by participating in a mission each day, and by also bringing in 1 used, but in good condition, book to be donated to a local library!
Your kindness mission today is a tricky one and will take some positive thinking. Today, try to go the entire day without complaining! If a negative thought or words start to come out of your mouth. Stop, take a breath, and try to say something else that will bring kindness to others!
