Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are excited to announce that next week we will be taking part in the nationwide “Random Acts of Kindness Challenge.” Each day will be a different themed day, including dress up fun, a quote, and a simple school challenge. We are hoping that this will encourage and empower students to do more random acts kindness both in and out of school.
