Septermber Kindness Calendar

On Friday your child brought home a kindness calendar for September. After reading the Kindness Quilt the 4th grade worked to togther to create acts of kindness for each day in September. Some acts of kindness are simple and require little thought or time. Others require more planning and time. Each day your child completes an act of kindness color in the day. This calendar will be shared with the school in Mrs. Buckley's next newsletter. I'd love to see any picture you have of your child's acts of kindness!
