FIS Random Acts of Kindness Challenge

The following classes met the goal...
- Kelly
- Tinsley
- Adams
- Stedham
- Olafson
- Wells

That's over 1,300 documented acts of kindness! Here are just a few examples.
- Made my mom's bed
- Read to my sister
- Helped a teacher carry their mail
- Put up someone else's chair
- Made lunch for brother
- Picked up trash
- Checked in with classmates
Let's continue to show our Admiral Spirit by being kind to others!
