Remember to look for kiddos doing acts of kindness and remember kids can write/give them to other kids so please keep them in a place that they can access them. When kiddos have completed a confetti piece remember to add them to the bulletin board in your hall!
I will do my best to make copies for yall at the beginning of each month. If you need more, just let me know!
