The leadership team is challenging all students to perform random acts of kindness from Feb 6-11. Small gestures have a big impact. When you do something nice for someone, take a ballot from the envelope on the bulletin board and fill it out with your name, homeroom and a brief description of your kind act. Drop the completed ballot in the office and we’ll all work together to fill the Kindness Tree. Thank you for spreading kindness!!
