One of the things I love most about being in the Lower School each day is observing the many acts of courage and kindness that happen throughout our classrooms, in the hallways, during lunch, and on the playground. As we adjust to our new schedules, I am challenging every member of our Lower School community to complete 10 acts of courage and kindness. Take a photo or create a video of yourself completing an act and send it to me.

Together…we can share our Lower School LOVE & JOY with others!

Kindness To Others:

• Create cards and place them in 5 mailboxes in your neighborhood.
• Leave a treat and note in your mailbox for the mail carrier.

• Clean out your closet or toy area and choose 5 items to donate.
• Create thank-you cards for people who work at the grocery store.
