This week our Kindness Krew is sponsoring a "Kindness Week" with dress up days and daily challenges. Today's theme was "Kindness Never Gets Old". Students were invited to dress up as an "old" person and write a thank you to a teacher. As you can see, our students really got into the theme! #lesinspire
