SMSD Kindness Week is HERE!!
Kindness is not just about this one week, of course, but it’s a good time of year to revisit the importance of it in our school and SMSD community. This year we will be building upon Mrs. Bell’s Bucket Filling lessons from the beginning of the year. Students will be able to fill out “drops” listing acts of kindness that they observe or receive throughout the day.
We look forward to students sharing some of those acts of kindness on the morning announcements with me next week. Teachers will be focusing on this topic through daily morning meetings and in some cases through writing/journaling assignments in the classroom.
We challenge your family to brainstorm how you can spread kindness across your neighborhood!
