Kindness Week
For bullying prevention week we are focusing on kindness. Here are some of the week's activities: Monday- Pajama Day: We wake up to be kind Tuesday- Dress Up Day: We are here to serve others Wednesday - Silly hat/Crazy hair: We don't judge others by how they look Thursday - Twins day : We are there for our friends Friday - Dr. F.J. McDonald School Spirit or Green/Yellow: We stand up as a community of kindness We have a beautiful kindness tree outside of the office. Every time we see an act of kindness or a student describes an act of kindness that has happened we write it on a heart and add the heart to our kindness tree. The goal is to make our tree "bloom with kindness". We will take a picture and showcase our blooming tree at the end of the week! We are also having a kindness poster contest and a winner will be selected from each grade. |
