💛 Happy #WorldKindnessDay! Today, our students and staff came together across the district to celebrate kindness by wearing their brightest yellow! 🌞 Each letter in YELLOW represents a key part of what kindness is all about:
✨ Y is for You—kindness starts with each of us. ✨ E is for Engage—connecting with others with an open heart. ✨ L is for Listen—taking time to truly hear one another. ✨ L is for Learn—about one other. ✨ O is for Offer—lending a hand whenever we can. ✨ W is for We—because kindness is something we build together.
By wearing yellow, we’re raising awareness that kindness can brighten our community. 🌼 Be nice. Be kind. Be yellow. 💛 #BeYellow #KindnessDay #ChooseKindness
