Throughout the school year students and staff have written "links" to each other for each act of kindness they have appreciated. Each class hangs their links in their classrooms, and today we took all our links down and wrapped them around the school. We didn't make it all the way around but we did make it 1/4 mile! It was so cool to see. Our class had 602 links. 602 times someone's kindness was acknowledged! That is pretty amazing!
After we were finished we took all our links into the cafeteria and dropped them on the stage. Several of my kids asked what they were going to do with them. One of my sweeties told me he had an idea. He thought we should go and wrap them around the mayors house to let him know how much the kids of our town care! Be still my heart. Have I mentioned that I am going to have a VERY HARD time letting these kids go?
Wow! That is really awesome!
