To celebrate Kindness Month in February, the lower school  has been completing random acts of kindness throughout the building…some quietly and some out loud.
Fourth graders snuck into the upper school hallways while they were at lunch on Valentine’s Day to leave small notes of positive affirmations and heart stickers on lockers. Fourth graders were so anxious to hear the reactions that they excitedly hid around corners to sneak a peek at the discovery by their upper school friends.
Third Grade made cards of appreciation for all that Nurse Tracy does for our class and the whole school!  One afternoon, students quietly went to the Health Office and surprised Nurse Tracy with special cards made by each student. “Nurse Tracy works so hard for our school, especially during Covid times. She always has bandaids, water, extra masks and she is so kind.” (grade 3 student)
Our Second Graders throw kindness all around! This month, they completed “sweets for sweets” by giving a compliment and a sweet treat to a friend.  Hearts of the giver and receiver were full!
First Graders created 21 rainbows for the 8th grade class. They wanted to “be a rainbow in someone’s cloudy day”. They tiptoed over to the 8th grade lockers one Thursday afternoon for the secret drop off!
Kindergartners decided to brighten the day of Miss Cerone with a great big, WARM FUZZY. Our kindhearted kindergarteners also each made her a card to bring her a smile and say thank you for all she does!
In PreK, to show some kindness and to thank our 5th grade buddies for our new virtual reading program, preK created small wooden heart tokens. First we did a math lesson to count by 5’s to discover how many hearts each PK students needed to make. We also made a card that read- “These hearts are small, I am too. Keep one because I love you!” Once we knew the 5th grade were safely outside for snack, we snuck into their classroom to leave our gift!
