Beginning in January, Senior Madison Paxson began teaching our 4th Grade students lessons on kindness. She did this in many different ways, including squeezing toothpaste out of a tube and trying to put it back, simulating how our words cannot be taken back, crumbling a paper to show how words affect someone, and finally, the students painted “Kindness Rocks” with kind phrases on them. These rocks are being placed in a kindness rock garden near the front doors at the school, so that anyone having a bad day may take a kind word!
