February~Updates

KINDNESS ASSEMBLY~ On January 19, grades 2-6 attended the first Kindness Assembly. Students from each classroom were recognized for an act of kindness. I would like to share this moment with you: "Taylor T. is always helpful and kind to others and she never lets anyone feel left out" (Maule)- "Amy E. is appreciated by her teacher and classmates for the kindness and thoughtfulness she displays in and out of the classroom" (Vice)- "Chase F. is brand new this year and is a good example of what kindness is. Chase has a gentle spirit and a kind heart" (Nelson)-"Alex S. was chosen because she is a true friend who is kind to everyone" (Kinsler)- "Emily M. shows kindness in every way all day at school to everyone she comes in contact with her" (Sanders)- "Jessica M. was chosen because she is kind to everyone and her acts of kindness go beyond our class" (Levins)- "Emad R. is a very caring student and is thoughtful of other people's feelings" (Cook)- "Carlos V. is the shining student who finds kindness in others as well as gives out kindness to others" (Cox)- "Jordan C. goes out of his way to demonstrate kindness" (Jordan)- "Michael C. was chosen because he is always spreading kindness" (Preston)- "Danny C. deserves to be honored because he has that wonderful ability and gift of always seeing kindness in others" (Toenjes)- "Gianna P. is naturally kind to others" (Sisserson)- "Justin H. deserves this award because he is respectful and considerate" (Carlson).
