From the district: <em>We know the world, and even our community, can feel awfully stressful and hostile right now. We are hoping to make the discourse in our community more positive and are launching a&nbsp;<strong>kindness campaign<\/strong>&nbsp;with regional partners to elevate stories of kindness \u2013 with special focus on&nbsp;<strong>World Kindness Day, Nov. 13<\/strong>. If you are interested in learning more and supporting this effort:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/14z2hexBLjeLTpARb_8fPS2LzpWFdkdPojy1ajHfvK7M\/edit?usp=sharing\">Here is a list of ideas of how to join both in and out of school.&nbsp;<\/a>We are hoping these resources will make it easy to join: Writing prompts, for instance; topics for advisory or freshmen foundations; a contest at the high school level; books to read at the elementary level. Additionally, we know many schools are ALREADY doing a lot around kindness. Please consider sharing with Alandra the great work you are already doing. Thank you.
