Students should return completed and signed (by parents) Bingo Cards to their homeroom teacher. Students who lost their bingo cards can see me, or print up their own from this link. https://www.randomactsofkindness.org/printables/RAK_kindness_bingo_cards.pdf
Kindness Lives at KRS! Students signed on the “Kindness” bulletin board.
KRS Teachers - Top-Notch Professionals - How We Use Data
