This week, we are celebrating kindness as part of our ongoing Positivity Project! Mrs. Cannon's 4th-grade class has created an inspiring Positivity Project display board to spread kindness throughout our school.
Students are invited to stop by the display board and choose a kind message that resonates with them or that they think will brighten their day. These small, thoughtful notes are meant to bring a smile to your face and remind us all of the power of kindness. 😊
Let’s keep spreading positivity and making our school a place where kindness shines!
