CAUGHT BEING KIND! 😊 In an effort to promote kindness and bring awareness to good deeds, our Junior High Counselor Mrs. Edwards started the "Caught Being Kind" award. Students and teachers can nominate ANYONE for being kind to others. This week, staff member Brylee Johnson was nominated by a student who witnessed her showing kindness to another student.
Thanks for being a great role model of kindness!
