Celebrate Kindness
Our students and staff continue to practice one of our core values, KINDNESS, all month long. Students have been sharing extra smiles, using good manners such as saying "please and thank you" with each other and staff. This coming Friday, February 14 we will celebrate a day of love and kindness together by forming a giant shaped heart on our grassy field at 8:30am. Wear red or pink. Come out and take a picture!!
