Kindess Week

We are about a week away from celebrating Kindness Week and Kindness Day (aka Valentine’s Day) or Wednesday, Feb. 14!!  Reminder, our students do not exchange Valentine’s Day cards/candy/etc. so please do not send your student to school with valentines or treats.  Instead, our students are going out into the community to distribute hand-made Kindness cards to our neighbors.  All companies that participated in previous years are excited to restart this tradition and the new companies are looking forward to hosting our students. Our class will be going to Anythink Library. Anythink Library's mission is to "open doors for curious minds in their local community...in order to support and promote positive change". It is a free library service around Colorado!
