This week our school kicked off the KINDNESS CHALLENGE. Students can earn a "kindness referral" from any staff member in the building for showing kindness by their actions or words. Students are then are recognized daily at morning assembly, given a kindness bracelet and their referral is displayed in the main corridor as we begin to create the word KIND with the referrals we receive. I love seeing all the good things are students are doing! Keep up the good work Venice Elementary!! Keep the kindness going!
