HES students are honoring National Acts of Kindness Day by writing about how they will show kindness today and throughout the year. Each student shared their personal plan on a heart, which they proudly added to the HES Kindness Tree.
Our Kindness Tree will be displayed in the front foyer of our building as a beautiful reminder to our students, staff, and families of the many ways we can lift one another up. It represents our commitment to creating a school culture rooted in respect, compassion, and care. Not just today, but every single day of the year.
Let’s celebrate National Acts of Kindness Day by choosing to be intentional with our words and actions. A small act of kindness can make a big difference. Together, we can continue to grow a community where kindness truly thrives. 💛
Herrin Elementary School will celebrate Random Act of Kindness Day on Tuesday, February 17th! Let’s spread kindness, positivity, and smiles throughout our school and community. 🐯💖
Remember: even the smallest act can make a big difference!
