Kindness Week 2017
Kids these days are either growing humps on their backs, growing mushrooms on their head, or have frowns that need to be turned upside down because of all the stress induced by the end of the quarter. So, to brighten up people’s day and change this dispiriting atmosphere, Kindness Week has arrived to rain smiles and happiness among these joyless students! What’s so special about it is that it only happens once a year and small actions transform into something beautiful like the cherry blossoms in the Spring! Once the Kindness Week forms were passed out at the beginning of the week, students took it as a joke just so they can earn the special treat. But, as time flew by we grew closer and closer together as a school with each random act of kindness bestowed! Our formula for success was 1,000 x 16 Acts of Kindness = 16,000 Awesome Deeds!!! By the end of the week, absolutely everyone had a smile on their face -- not because they stuffed their face with ice cream, but because their hearts were filled with happiness and gratitude ;) Thanks to everyone who showed kindness and good deeds... After all, no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Natania, Spirit Committee Chairperson
