💌💘 Kindness Month is almost over. We hope that you are getting the message about
passing kindness on. When we do kind things for people, they feel so good about what
we did that they often do kind acts for others. As kindness is passed on from one person
to another, an outward ripple effect is created, like a raindrop that falls into water. In this
way, one Random Act of Kindness can be passed on and on, bringing happiness to
many others. 💌
Anthropologist Margaret Mead once said, “Never believe that a few caring
people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.”
We also can’t forget about being kind to ourselves. We also have to make sure we take
care of our mind and body so that we are the best version of ourselves to be kind to
others. 💞💓
This week, let’s make sure we are being kind to ourselves.
Thanks to all the students and staff for helping to make this a great month! Now, let’s all
work together to pass the kindness on throughout our school and into our community.

🥰💞 Remember, kindness is about making and keeping friends. One study found that students who performed Random Acts of Kindness felt more accepted by their classmates and had more friends than the students who did not perform Random Acts of Kindness. 💘
When you are kind to others, more people want to be around you. Being kind to others is one of the best ways to make and keep friends! How will you show kindness today?💘
