Kindness Everywhere!
Happy Friday!
What a fun week at Oak Crest. The number of smiles and kind acts was exponentially increased this week. It is amazing how much joy comes from being surrounded by people who are intentionally leading with kindness. Next week we will share with students how many kind acts were recorded, the winners of our writing contest, and more. The best way to describe the impact of the Great Kindness Challenge is with pictures. So please take a couple minutes to enjoy the video below!
Have a great weekend!
Be You, Be RED!

JANUARY IS KINDNESS MONTH @ OAK CREST
TIGER TARGET (Jan 30-Feb 3) I can lead with kindness, always.
Leading with kindness means our first action, our first word, our first facial expression, our first thought in every situation is positive and kind. When you lead with kindness, it makes it easy for others to share kindness back with you. As our 4th graders learned at their kindness retreat, kindness is a boomerang. The more we throw out kindness, the more often it will return to us. In every situation and with every person, try to lead with kindness
