Warriors - Did you know World Kindness Day is quickly approaching?!
🧡 Bring Change 2 Mind will be promoting kindness by sharing clips with positive messages throughout the school day this Wednesday. If you receive a clip, feel free to keep it or pass the positivity on to another Warrior.
🖤 We are also inviting all Warriors to wear their LWW Be Kind shirts to school on Wednesday. Don’t have a Be Kind to shirt on Wednesday? Another option is to consider wearing a cardigan similar to Mr. Rogers to promote the message of positivity, compassion, and consideration.
📸 Bring Change 2 Mind will also have a photo backdrop setup in the cafeteria for all the lunch hours on World Kindness Day.
We hope you join BC2M in at least one of our activities for World Kindness Day! Take some time to show kindness, today, and always. #WarriorsAreKind #BeKind #GetInvolved #LeadTheWay
